how is a prokaryotic cell different from a eukaryotic cell

 

ProkaryotesEukaryotes
They are mainly unicellularThey are mainly multicellular except for protista
They have only a few organellesMany organelles
DNA is circularDNA is linear
DNA lies in the cytoplasm (Nucleus absent)DNA is inside the nucleus
Cell division occurs mostly through binary fissionMitosis, meiosis or both take place.

prokaryotic cell-

1. size is generally small.

2. nuclear region is undefined, i.e., not surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

3. only one chromosome present.

4. cell division occurs by binary fission.

5. membrane-bound cell organelles are absent. 

eukaryotic cell-

1. size is generally large.

2. nuclear region is well-defined, i.e., surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

3. more than one chromosome prsent.

4. cell division occurs through mitosis or meiosis cell division.

5. membrane-bound cell organelles are present.
