What is the difference between prokaryotic bacteria and eukaryotic bacteria?

All bacteria are prokaryotic, there are no eukaryotic bacteria. Prokaryotic organisms (bacteria, archaea) lack membrane bound organelles like nuclei and mitochondria.One other difference is the number and configuration of chromosomes. Prokaryotes have only 1 chromosome each, and unlike the multiple, linear chromosomes of eukaryotes (like us) a prokaryote's chromosome is circular in that it has no "ends."Another difference is that most prokarya are much smaller than eukaryotic cells. Most bacteria are about the size of a mitochondrion or chloroplast, somewhat near 1/1000th the size of a eukaryotic cell. There ARE unicellular eukaryotes, like Paramecium caudatum, or the one-celled fungus Saccharomyces cerevisae (yup, that's yeast) - but despite being tiny, these aren't bacteria.


Are bacteria cells prokaryotic or eukaryotic and why?

Plant cells are Eukaryotic. Eukaryotic cells have a nuclei and membrane bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells are cells without a nuclei or membrane bound organelles. A bacteria cell is an example of a Prokaryotic cell. Plant and animal cell are examples for eukaryotic cells.
