(a)

































Prokaryotic cell



Eukaryotic cell



Most prokaryotes are unicellular.



Most eukaryotes are multicellular.



Size of the cell - (0.5- 5 μ).



Size of the cell - (50- 100 μ).



It contains a single chromosome.



It contains more than one chromosome.



The nucleolus is absent.



The nucleolus is present.



Membrane-bound cell organelles such as plastids, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, etc. are absent.



Cell organelles such as mitochondria, plastids, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, etc. are present.



Cell division occurs through binary fission



Cell division occurs by mitosis.




b) If ever the plasma membrane ruptures or breakdown then the cell will not be able to exchange material from its surroundings by diffusion. As a result, the protoplasmic material will disappear and the cell will die.


c) Golgi apparatus performs the function of a storage modification and packaging of products. If the Golgi apparatus is not there then materials synthesized by the cell will not be packaged and transported.
