What are the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
assistant
Prokaryotic cells are much simpler than eukaryotic cells, lacking many of the organelles found in eukaryotic cells, such as a nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and others. Prokaryotic cells are also generally much smaller than eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells are often larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. They contain many more organelles than prokaryotic cells and have a variety of internal structures and membrane-bound compartments. Eukaryotic cells also contain a nucleus, which contains the DNA and is responsible for many of the functions of the cell.
