Best Answer

Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms. Because of this, they take on a more oblong shape, lack a number of membranes, and often have a flagellum that assists in propelling themselves forward. in contrast, a eukaryotic cell is one that's part of a multi-celled organism, and as such takes a rounder shape with membranes around the nucleus.
