Differences between eukaryotes and prokaryotes:

 * Eukaryotes || **Difference** || Prokaryote ||
 * * Plasma membrane
 * Does not have additional membrane-bound organelles within the cell. || //Endomembrane System// || * Plasma membrane.
 * Has additional membrane-bound organelles within the cell, including the nuclear membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes and vesicles. ||
 * * Does not have a mitochondria or chloroplasts or any membrane bound organelles as it does not support those kind of organelles. || //Organelles// || * Has mitochondria, chloroplast(for some) and other membrane bound organelles. ||
 * * Less advanced but have been around since ancient times. || //Evolution// || * More advanced, having evolved from Eukaryotes. ||
 * * Genome resides freely within the cytoplasm as the nucleus is a membrane bound organelle. || //Location of Genome (chromosome)// || * Genome resides in the nucleus, which is a membrance bound organelle. ||
 * * Have their DNA present in few to many linear chromosomes || //Type of Genome (chromosome)// || * Has a single circular chromosome. ||
 * * Range from 1-10 micrometer. || //Size// || * Range from 10 micrometer to 1 millimeter. ||
