Prokaryotes refer to organisms with a cell nucleus or organelles that are membrane-bound. Some prokaryotes are multicellular while others are unicellular. Eukaryotes, on the other hand, refer to organisms whose cytoskeleton and internal membranes organize them into complex structures.
Similarities
The two types of cells contain the same genetic material and like all cells, they release energy through respiration in addition to making proteins similarly. The structure of the prokaryotic cells is similar to mitochondrial and chloroplast’s structure, both of which are eukaryotic organelles. Moreover, the two cell types have ribosomes in addition to DNA which functions to control their structure, behavior, and
