Detailed explanation-1: -The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cell size. Typical prokaryotic cells range from 0.1 to 5.0 micrometers (m) in diameter and are significantly smaller than eukaryotic cells, which usually have diameters ranging from 10 to 100 m.
Detailed explanation-3: -In prokaryotic cells, cytoplasm is present, but it is lacking in most cell organelles. In eukaryotic cells, it consists of both cytoplasm and organelles, both are present. Mitochondria is present and it is a powerhouse of cells. Ribosomes are present but they are comparatively large and linear in shape.
Detailed explanation-4: -Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not. Differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts, the cell wall, and the structure of chromosomal DNA.
