A
relatively the same size
B
both have a nucleus
C
both have ribosomes
D
both have mitochondria to make energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the golgi complex, lysosomes, mitochondria, microbodies and vacuoles, etc. are membrane bound organelles which are present in eukaryotic cells. Ribosomes are non-membrane bound organelles found in both eukaryotic as well as prokaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -All prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have some similar features as they both contain ribosomes, genetic material, a cytoplasm, and plasma membranes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Ribosomes are common in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Eukaryotes have 80S ribosomes, whereas prokaryotes have 70S ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prokaryotic ribosomes contain 30S and 50S, the smaller unit and therefore the larger unit respectively whereas eukaryotic ribosomes have smaller subunit and bigger subunit as 40S and 60S respectively. Eukaryotic cells have chloroplasts and mitochondria as organelles and people organelles even have ribosomes 70S.
