Differences Between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cell Now let us study the difference between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells Prokaryotic Cell Eukaryotic cell Size is 0.1- 5.0 um Size is 5-100 um Nucleus is absent Nucleus is present Membrane-bound nucleus absent. Membrane-bound Nucleus is present. One chromosome is present, but not true chromosome plastids More than one number of chromosomes is present. Unicellular Multicellular Lysosomes and Peroxisomes absent Lysosomes and Peroxisomes present Microtubules absent Microtubules present Endoplasmic reticulum absent Endoplasmic reticulum present Mitochondria absent Mitochondria present Cytoskeleton absent Cytoskeleton present Ribosomes smaller Ribosomes larger Vesicles present Vesicles present Golgi apparatus absent Golgi apparatus present Chloroplasts absent; chlorophyll scattered in the cytoplasm Chloroplasts present in plants Submicroscopic in size Flagella is present and made up of only one fibre Microscopic in size, membrane-b...
