Prokaryotic Cell

Eukaryotic Cell

1. Cell size is generally small (1-10 μm)

2. Nucleus is not bounded by a membrane and it is called nucleoid. 

3. Only a single chromosome is present.

4. Nucleolus is absent.

5. Membrane bound cell organelles are absent.

6. Cell division by fission or budding (no mitosis).

7. For example - bacteria etc.

1. Cell is generally large (5-100 (μm)

2. Nuclear material is surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

3. More than one chromosome are present.

4. Nucleolus is present.

5. Cell organelles bounded by membrane are present.

6. Cell division mitotic or meiotic.

7. For example plants and animals
