Compare and contrast prokayotes and eukaryotes?

Answer 1

Prokaryotes are older, more basic in function and shape, do not contain a true nucleus or any membrane-bound organelles, unicellular (for the most part - some bacteria have multicellular stages in their life), and consist of bacteria and archae (old bacteria).

Eukaryotes can be uni- or multi-cellular, have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, are generally more complex in shape and function, much larger than prokaryotes and evolved later in history.

These are just some basic comparisons.

Answer 2

Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms with no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotes are organisms with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes have a simpler internal structure compared to eukaryotes. Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multicellular, while prokaryotes are predominantly single-celled.
