Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic have a more complex cell structure due to compartmentalisation of organelles. So, they need a more complex process like mitosis which also divides the organelles and cytoplasm equally among the daughter cells. Q. Cell division in prokaryotes is complicated compared to cell division in eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells; in addition to the absence of a nucleus, their genomes are less complex and they do not contain cytoplasmic organelles or a cytoskeleton (Table 1.1).

Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells. They all have a cell membrane, ribosomes, and DNA as prokaryotic cells do. However, the DNA of eukaryotic cells does not float freely in the cytoplasm. Instead, it is found in the nucleus, an internal compartment bound by a cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which structure is present in prokaryotic cells, but not eukaryotic cells? Explanation: In general, prokaryotic cells are smaller and less complex than eukaryotic cells. They lack membrane-bound organelles (such as mitochondria) and contain a nucleoid region instead of a membrane-bound nucleus.

Detailed explanation-5: -A prokaryote is a simple, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
