How are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells different?

Cells of the prokaryotic kingdom are bacterial cells, single celled organisms.

Animal, Plant, Fungi and Prooctists which are the other kingdoms are all eukaryotic, multicellular organisms. Prokaryotic means before having a nucleus, hence prokaryotic cells have no nucleus Eukaryotic means cells with a nucleus Eukaryotic DNA are linear whilst prokaryotic DNA are circular Both types of cells have ribosomes, however eukaryotic cells have much larger ribosomes than prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic DNA is complex with proteins called histones and is organized whilst prokaryotic DNA doesnt and isnt formed into chromosomes, instead it has one circular DNA molecule called plasmid
