The cells of a multi cellular organisms are called eukaryotic cells and have:
1. a membrane-bound nucleus
2. numerous membrane - bound organelles including the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts and mitochondria.
3. several rod-shaped chromosomes.
Because a eukaryotic cell's nucleus is said to be surrounded by a membrane, it is said to have a true nucleus. Organelles (meaning "little organ") have specialized cellular roles just like the organs of the body have specialized roles.
