Answer

Prokaryotic Cell Eukaryotic Cell
1.Size : generally 1. Size: generally small $(1-10\mu\text{m})1\mu\text{m}=10^{-6}\text{m}.$1.Size: generally large ( 5-100 μm).
2.Nuclear region:poorly defined because of the absence of a nuclear membrance, and known as nucleoid2.Nuclear region: well defined and surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
3.Chromosome: single.3.More than one chromosome.
4.Membrane-bound cell organelles absent.4.membrene-bound cell organelles such as mitochondria, plastids, etc., are present.
