The eukaryote and prokaryote cells both have ribosome and have similar basic metabolism but the cells also have differences when it comes to their size and function. The eukaryotes have a nucleus and the prokaryote cells do not. The Eukaryote cells have membrane-bound organelles which allow them to exhibit much higher levels of intracellular division of labor and the prokaryotes do not. The Eukaryotic cells are about ten times the size of prokaryotic cells and the DNA of eukaryotes is much more complex and therefore much more extensive than the DNA of prokaryotes. Prokaryotes have a cell wall composed of peptidoglycan, a single large polymer of amino acids and sugar. Many types of eukaryotic cells also have cell walls, but none made of peptidoglycan. The DNA of prokaryotes floats freely around the cell whereas the DNA of eukaryotes is held within its nucleus and associated with proteins. Eukaryotes undergo mitosis whereas the prokaryotes divide by simple cell division. Overall, both the eukaryote and the prokaryote cells have similarities but yet differences
