Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic

Prokaryotic cells are smaller, unicellular, lack membrane-bound organelles, and reproduce by binary fission, while eukaryotic cells are larger, multicellular, contain membrane-bound organelles, and undergo mitosis/meiosis. Both types of cells have DNA and ribosomes, and prokaryotic cells have a nucleoid with condensed circular DNA. Eukaryotic cells have linear DNA located in a nucleus.
