Difference Between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

Table enlists the distinguishing features between prokaryotes and eukaryotes :

Difference between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells

Basic	Prokaryotes	Eukaryotes
Typical Organisms	Bacteria and archaea	Protists, fungi, plants and animals.
Typical Size	∼1-10μm	∼10-100μm (sperm cells, apart from the tail, are smaller).
Types Nucleus	Nucleoid region; no real nucleus	Real nucleus with double membrane.
DNA	Circular (usually)	Linear molecules (chromosomes) with histone proteins.
RNA-/ Protein Synthesis	Coupled in cytoplasm	RNA-synthesis inside the nucleus; protein synthesis in cytoplasm.
Ribosomes	50 S + 30S	60S + 40S
Cytoplasmatic Structure	Very few structures	Highly structured by endomembranes and a cytoskeleton.
Cell Movement	Flagella flagellin	Flagella and cilia containing microtubules; lamellipodia and filopodia containing actin.
Mitochondria	None	One to several thousand (though some lack mitochondria).
Chloroplasts	None	In algae and plants.
Organisation	Usually single cells	Single cells, colonies, higher multicellular organisms with specialised cells.
Cell Division	Binary fission (simple division)	Mitosis (fission or budding) and meiosis.
