Answer:

The eukaryotic cell is 10 to 100 times larger than the prokaryotic cells.

Explanation:

The eukaryotic cell is 10 to 100 times larger than the prokaryotic cells. The prokaryotic cells are primitive, simpler in structure. The eukaryotic cells are complex in structure and have different adaptation for various cellular activities.  

All the cells have cytoplasm, cell membrane, nucleus. In prokaryotes, the nucleus is not well defined and no other membrane-bound organelles.

e.g. bacteria, archaea.

The diameter of prokaryotic cells is smaller than the eukaryotic cells. Because the transport of ions and cell division is faster in it. Its diameter ranges from 0.1 micrometers to 5.0 micrometers. While eukaryotic cell diameter is 10 to 100 micrometers.  

The small size of the prokaryotes is an advantage to its cellular processes whereas the eukaryotic cells are larger.  Because it has to adapt to the function of different cell organelles present in it.

Answer: One of the most common Monera is Escherichia coli, also known as E. coli.  "[E. coli] is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, coliform bacterium of the genus Escherichia that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms." States wikipedia.* Signs of E. coli are stomach pains and cramps, diarrhea that may range from watery to bloody, fatigue, loss of appetite or nausea, vomiting, and low fever < 101 °F/ 38.5 °C (not all people have this specific symptom).

   E. coli comes from human and animal wastes. During precipitation, E. coli may be washed into creeks, rivers, streams, lakes, or groundwater. Another way to get it is from contaminated food, a lot like corona virus. When cattle are slaughtered and processed, E. coli bacteria in their intestines can get on the meat. And when ground beef is made, it combines meat from many different animals, increasing the risk of contamination.
