Final answer:

Prokaryotic cells differ from eukaryotic cells in terms of the organization of genetic material and presence of membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells have genetic material contained in a nucleoid without a membrane-bound nucleus, and they generally lack membrane-bound organelles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prokaryotic cells differ from eukaryotic cells in that their genetic material is contained in a nucleoid rather than a membrane-bound nucleus. In addition, prokaryotic cells generally lack membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells of the same species typically share a similar cell morphology and cellular arrangement.
