A prokaryotic cell is normally a bacteria. A prokaryotic cell does not have a membrane around it's nucleus, it has loops of DNA free in its cytoplasm.

A eukaryotic cell is any cell with many organelles (other parts which help it function) and a membrane-bound nucleus.

The nucleus is the key difference- if it has a membrane, it is Eukaryotic/a Eukaryote. If not, it is Prokaryotic/a Prokaryote.
