Differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
The eukaryotic cells have a nucleus which is bound by a cell membrane where else, the prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and also, they lack a true cell membrane. Eukaryote cells are usually much smaller as compared to the eukaryotic cells. The cell type of the eukaryotic cells is usually multicellular while that of prokaryotic cells in unicellular.
