Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells

Eukaryote cells are larger in diameter than prokaryote cells, a true nucleus and membrane enclosed organelles.
The cell walls of prokaryotes are thick as compared to that of a eukaryote, that sometimes are present. Eukaryotes have a cytoskeleton. Prokaryotes do not.
Cell division in eukaryotes is done by mitosis, and prokaryotes is done by binary fission.Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms. Eukariotes have many unicellular eukaryotes as well as more complexed multicellular ones.
They both have DNA as their genetic material. Both are membrane bound and contain ribosomes. They are diverse in forms and have a similar pattern of metabolism.
