What are the two main differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

The main difference between the two types of cell is that prokaryotic cells have no (membrane-bound) organelles. This means that the processes that usually happen in organelles take place in the cytoplasm. The DNA in prokaryotes is circular, whereas DNA in eukaryotes is linear and arranged in chromosomes.
