Answer:

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have structures such as cell membranes, cytoplasm, and ribosomes. However, there are some differences in the structure and organization of these organelles between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

In prokaryotic cells, the genetic material is not enclosed in a membrane-bound nucleus, but instead exists as a single circular chromosome in the cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus that houses the DNA, as well as additional membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes.

Prokaryotic cells also typically have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, which is not found in animal cells. Plant cells have a cell wall as well, but it is made of cellulose. Eukaryotic cells may also have specialized structures such as chloroplasts (in plant cells) and cilia or flagella for movement.
