Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, we need to know that prokaryotes are cells that don't have true nucleus, nor membranes organelles. Its counterpart is eukaryotic cells.

<u>Characteristics of prokaryotes:</u>

  1. Lack an organised nucleus. as we said before, and membrane organelles.
  2. The central part of this type of cell is called Nucleoid, there's found its DNA.
  3. Its diameter size is from 0.1 to 0.5 micrometers, just bigger than flu virus, for example.
  4. Its sized characteristics allow them to participate in ions and molecules processes. This is a important fact, because this habilitates prokaryotes to move fast through all the cell, taking out undesired elements away.
  5. Prokaryotes are singled cells or unicellular this means that are simple cells.
  6. Its nucleoid contains a single chromosome.

*they lack an organized nucleus and other membrane bound organelles
*DNA is found in a "nucleoid" - a central part of the cell
*The cell wall is an extra layer of protection and maintains the cell's shape.

Answer:

The difference between Prokaryotic cell and Eukaryotic cell are;

\begin{array}{lll}&\underline {\text {Prokaryotic}}& \underline {\text {Eukaryotic}}\\ \\ \text {Nuclear \ membrane \ and \ nucleus} & \text {No \ true \ nucleus \ or}    & \text {Has \ a \ true \ nucleus} \\& \text {nuclear \  membrane} & \text {nucleoli \ and \ nuclear \ membrane}\\\\ \text {Membrane \ bound \ cell \ organelle} & \text {None &Present} \\\\ \text {Chromosome \ number \ and \ shape} & \text {One} & \text {Several, more \ than \ one} \end{array}

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells

The plasma membranes surround prokaryotic cells, however, within their cytoplasm, there are no organelles bound to the membrane and there is no nucleus in the prokaryotic cell which differentiates it from the eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells also have plasma membranes, ribosomes and cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells also have membrane-bound nucleus, membrane bound organelles, such as chloroplast, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus which together differentiates it from a prokaryotic cell
