What type of reproduction?
prokaryotic cells always sexual. Eukaryotic cells is both sexual and asexual.
Cell division?
prokaryotic cell division is by binary fission. Eukaryotic cell division is by mitosis or meiosis.
Cytoskeleton or no cytoskeleton
prokaryotic cells NO. Eukaryotic cells ALWAYS.
Ribrosome size?
prokaryotic cells small ribrosome. Eukaryotic cells large ribrosome.
What is the DNA like?
prokaryotic cells the DNA is cicrular without protein. Eukaryotic cells DNA is linear and associated with proteins to form chromatin.
Nucleus or no nucleus?
prokaryotic cells no nucleus or any membrane bound organelle. Eukaryotic cells always have nucleus.
Unicellular or multicelluar?
prokaryotic cell always unicelluar. Eukaryotic cell often multicelluar.

prokaryotic cells huge variety of metabolic pathways. Eukaryotic cells have common metabolic pathways.
