Answer
| Prokaryotic cell | Eukaryotic cell |
| Size: generally small ( 1-10 �m) 1 �m== 10-6 m | Size: generally large (5-100 �m) |
| Nuclear region: poorly defined because of the absence of a nuclear membrane, and is known as nucleoid | Nuclear region: well-defined and surrounded by a nuclear membrane |
| Chromosome: single | More than one chromosome |
| Membrane-bound cell organelles are absent | Membrane-bound cell organelles such as mitochondria, plastids, etc., are present |
