which type of cells have membrane-bound organelles such as a nucleus?

The type of cells that have membrane‑bound organelles such as a nucleus are eukaryotic cells.

Quick Scoop

  • Eukaryotic cells include animal, plant, fungal, and many protist cells.
  • They contain a true nucleus surrounded by a nuclear membrane, plus other membrane‑bound organelles like mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and (in plants) chloroplasts.
  • In contrast, prokaryotic cells (such as bacteria) do not have a membrane‑bound nucleus or other membrane‑bound organelles.

So if a cell has a clear nucleus and many internal compartments wrapped in membranes, it is a eukaryotic cell.
