$\huge\mathfrak\colorbox{yellow}{\color{red}{ANSWER࿐~}}$

PROKARYOTIC CELL

• A prokaryote is a typically unicellular organism that lacks a nuclear membrane-enclosed nucleus. The word prokaryote comes from the Greek πρό and κάρυον. In the two-empire system arising from the work of Édouard Chatton, prokaryotes were classified within the empire Prokaryota.

EUKARYOTIC CELL

• Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus enclosed within the nuclear membrane and form large and complex organisms. Protozoa, fungi, plants, and animals all have eukaryotic cells. ... This helps them grow many times larger than the prokaryotic cells.

Answer

The difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is mentioned below. (It can be represented in a tabular form too.)

Prokaryotic Cell

• The word prokaryotic is derived from two words 'pro' and 'karyon'. Here 'pro' means primitive (not well-defined) and 'karyon' means nucleus.
• So, we can say that a cell with a not well-defined nucleus is a prokaryotic cell. They have a nucleoid in the nuclear region.
• They lack of membrane-bound organelles.
• They are always unicellular and microscopic.
• For example -: Bacteria, Archea, etc.

Eukaryotic Cell

• The word eukaryotic is derived from two words 'eu' and 'karyon'. Here 'eu' means true (well-defined) and 'karyon' means nucleus.
• So, we can say that a cell with a well-defined nucleus is a eukaryotic cell.
• They have membrane-bound organelles.
• They can be a unicellular or multicellular organism.
• For example -: Animal Cells, Plant Cells, Fungi Cells, etc.
