Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Prokaryotic cells are about 10 times larger than eukaryotes. Genetic material in prokaryotes resides in the cytoplasm, whereas genetic material in eukaryotes resides in a membrane-enclosed structure. Prokaryotic cells are about 10 times larger than eukaryotes. (This statement is false.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryotic cell wall is made up of cellulose hemicellulose, pectin chitin etc. Thus, is not true for eukaryotic cell.
