The key signature is the same, but in the D minor scale, the notes that you play may not necessarily depend only on the key signatures. It will also depend on whether you are playing the melodic or harmonic minor scale. For your information:
Harmonic Scale:
Ascending and Descending: Raise 7th note
Melodic Scale:
Ascending: Raise 6th and 7th note
Descending: Play the scale according to the original key signatures

What is the primary difference between a major scale and a minor scale?
The primary difference between a major and minor scale is in the positioning of the tones and semitones that make up the scale. Both scales have eight notes. In the standard harmonic minor scale, the semitones occur between the 2nd and 3rd notes of the scale, whilst in the major scale, the semitones occur between the 3rd and 4th notes, and the 7th and 8th notes.

Thereafter the flattened third and sixth note of Eb minor will distinguish it in sound to the scale of D# major. The second difference is the writing; the same notes, while sounding identical, will look different on the sheet music.
