Eu stands for true and karyo stands for nucleus. This can be used to help remember the difference between a eukaryote and a prokaryote. The pro in prokaryote stands for before and again karyo stands for nulceus. So prokaryotic cells come before the eukaryotic cells. And Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus while prokaryotic cells DO NOT have a nucleus.
