No, they are not... an example would be this; a type of prokaryote is bacteria, a type of eukaryote is a wolf (animals are classified as a eukaryote) Obviously the wolf is bigger than the bacteria.

∙ 14y agoUsually, prokaryotes are about 10X smaller than eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotes include plant, animals, protists, and fungi. The only kind of prokaryotes on Earth are bacteria. Bacteria have no nuclei; their DNA are scattered in their cytoplasm. Eurkaryotes have specifically defined nuclei, containing all the chromosomes of DNA.

∙ 6y agoSomewhat. Living cells have cell membranes, genetic material & ribosomes in COMMON.
But, prokaryotes lack an organized nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They have a cell wall that acts as an extra layer of protection and they are smaller.
Eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles. They are much larger to hold these organelles.
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago1. Prokaryotes lack an organized nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
2. Prokaryotic DNA is found in a central part of the cell called the nucleoid.
3. The cell wall of a prokaryote acts as an extra layer of protection, helps maintain cell shape, and prevents dehydration.
4. Prokaryotic cell size ranges from 0.1 to 5.0 μm in diameter.
5. The small size of prokaryotes allows quick entry and diffusion of ions and molecules to other parts of the cell while also allowing fast removal of waste products out of the cell.
1. Eukaryotes have membrane bound organelles.
2. They are much larger to hold these organelles.
3. They have more than one chromosome
4. Often are multicellular
5. Have peroxisomes and lysosomes
6. Have mitochondria
7. Larger ribosomes

A dog is bigger than bacteria.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes; prokaryotes are usually smaller than eukaryotes. This is because they have no nucleus and lack some other organelles as well. They are much simpler.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes, size of a eukaryotic cell is 5-100 mm and Size of a prokaryotic cell is 1-10mm.

What is the difference between something eukaryotic and something prokaryotic?
There are quite a few differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do. Prokaryotic cells are not found in humans while eukaryotic cells are. Prokaryotic cells are primitive while eukaryotic cells are much more evolved.
Is cell division a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell?
Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells divide; eukaryotic cells through mitosis, prokaryotic cells through binary fission.
List prokaryotic cells eukaryotic cells and viruses in order of increasing complexity?
viruses, prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells
What are the primary differences between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells?
The main primary difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that the prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. The eukaryotic cells are also larger than the prokaryotic cells.
How are prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells similar?
Both are cells. Both contain ribosomes, DNA......

The main primary difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that the prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. The eukaryotic cells are also larger than the prokaryotic cells.
Do people have prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells?
The cells found in the human body are eukaryotic cells. Organisms that have eukaryotic cells are usually multicellular like humans. Organisms that have prokaryotic cells are usually unicelluar, like bacteria.
