This chapter focuses on eucaryotic cell structure and function. Although procaryotic
organisms are immensely important in microbiology, eucaryotic microorganisms-such
as fungi, algae, and protozoa-are also prominent members of many ecosystems,
and some have medical significance as etiological agents of disease as well.
The chapter concludes with a comparison of eucaryotic and procaryotic cells.
