Answer;

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

Step-by-step 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.
