Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotic cells are simpler than eukaryotic cells. They do not have a nuclear membrane surrounding their DNA, therefore, cell division is different than that in eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotic cells are generally much smaller and more simple than eukaryotic (Figure 1.2. 1). Prokaryotic cells are, in fact, able to be structurally more simple because of their small size. The smaller a cell, the greater is its surface-to-volume ratio (the surface area of a cell compared to its volume).

Detailed explanation-3: -Most prokaryotes are small, single-celled organisms that have a relatively simple structure. Prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, but they have no internal membrane-bound organelles within their cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -Example: bacteria. Eukaryotic cells are not simpler than prokaryotic cells. They are more complex than prokaryotic cells.
