Detailed explanation-3: -At 0.1–5.0 µm in diameter, prokaryotic cells are significantly smaller than eukaryotic cells, which have diameters ranging from 10–100 µm (Figure 3.6).

Detailed explanation-4: -Only bacteria have prokaryotic cell types. Eukaryotic cells are generally much larger and more complex than prokaryotic.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eukaryotic cells are typically larger than prokaryotic cells, ranging from around 10 to 100 m in diameter. While many eukaryotes consist of multiple cells, there are also single-celled eukaryotes.
