Answer:

The biggest difference between eukarya cells and bacteria ( as well as archaea) has to do with the way that DNA s stored within them. Bacteria have there DNA freely floating in the cell's cytoplasm with the membrane. Where else, eukarya have their DNA enclosed inside of a nucleus, which bacteria and archaea lack.
