Explanation: 

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: -1. What is the smallest and largest cell size? Bacteria have the tiniest cells, ranging in size from 0.1 to 0.5 micrometers.

Detailed explanation-3: -A eukaryotic cell is much smaller and has a diameter between 10 and 100 micrometers (µm).

Detailed explanation-4: -Mycoplasma is the smallest prokaryotic organism (0.15 to 0.35 micrometer) that lacks cell wall but have rigid plasma membrane rich in sterols and lipoglycans.
