Answer;

-Prokaryotes are smaller and lack the internal compartments that eukaryotes have.

Explanation;

-Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are composed of cells, the basic unit of life, with each cell surrounded by a cell membrane. The biggest difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that eukaryotes have a nucleus. They also have other membrane structures called organelles.

-Prokaryotes do not have a membrane bound nucleus or membrane bound organelles. Eukaryotes have a membrane bound nucleus and organelles which compartmentalize many functions. Eukaryotes and prokaryotes generally differ in cell size and cellularity. Eukaryotes are usually larger and multicellular.
