Outline the main differences between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.

Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells.Prokaryotic cells have no nucleusDNA in prokaryotic cells are not associated with proteins whereas DNA in eukaryotic cells are assoicated with histonesProkaryotic cells have single circular DNA whereas DNA is linear in eukaryotic cellsThere are no membrane-bound organelles in prokaryotes (e.g. no mitochondria or chloroplast)Ribosomes in cytoplasm are smaller in prokaryotes (70S) whereas cytoplasmic ribosomes in eukaryotes are 80SCell wall is made of murein in prokaryotic cells whilst cell wall in eukaryotic plant cells is made of cellulose(note: the tip to answer this type of question is to list the differences and stating what they are in both type of cells, not just one, in order to gain full marks)
