Answer:
- Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, and their DNA is free floating, while eukaryotes do have a nucleus (where DNA is found).
- Prokaryotes usually only have a plasma membrane, DNA, ribosomes, cytoplasm, and often times a cell wall.
- Prokaryotic ribosomes are smaller than eukaryotic ones (by about 10S)
-
Flagella, while shown in prokaryotes, are NOT made of microtubules.
However, the most distinctive difference between the two is that the eukaryotes have a nucleus, while prokaryotes do not.
