Summary
"The differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes are much more deep and fundamental than, for example, those between higher animals and higher plants. Numerous facts, especially those from cytology of simplest eukaryotic organisms, support the views of Kozo-Polyansky-Margulis. The eukaryotic cell, compared to a prokaryotic cell, is already rather some sort of 'supercell.' A specific 'assembly' of a complex eukaryotic system from already largely 'prefabricated parts' took place during the process of evolution."
