There are several differences.

(1) Prokaryotes(P) do not contain membrane bounded organelles while eukaryotes(E) do.

(2)(P) have circular DNA and nuclear content aggregated in their cytoplasm while (E) have a nucleus within which the nuclear content is stored.

Prokaryotes are simple bacterial organisms. They lack a nuclear membrane so the nuclear material is contained simply within the cytoplasm. The nuclear material is found as a singular circular chromosome. Prokaryotes also lack cell organelles such as mitochondria.

Eukaryotes are complex and usually contain specialised cells characterised by the presence of cell organelles and a nuclear membrane. This genetic material is found on chromosomes, which are highly complex and wound around proteins known as histones.

- prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and eukaryotic cells do.

- prokaryotic cells have some different organelles from eukaryotic cells.

- prokaryotic cells are not found in humans and eukaryotic cells are.

- prokaryotic cells are always unicellular and eukaryotic cells are often multicellular.

- prokaryotic cells reproduce/divide by binary fission and eukaryotic cells reproduce/divide by mitosis/meiosis
