Answer:

Prokaryotes are similar to green plants because, like plants, prokaryotes perform basic life functions, including reproduction, digestion, and respiration. As far as differences, prokaryotes have one cell, while green plants are multicellular. Plants are also eukaryotes—they have a nucleus.
