The
differences between prokaryote and eukaryote range from size to intracellular
movement. There are differences in many important points in-between. Unlike
prokaryotic cells, typical eukaryotic cells are much larger with a thousand to
a million times larger cell volumes than those of bacteria. The distinguishing
characteristics of eukaryotes are the nucleus, which has a complex internal
structure surrounded by a double membrane. Another stringing difference between
eukaryotes and prokaryotes contain a number of other membrane-bound organelles with
specific functions. There is clear difference in reproduction process with
mitosis in eukaryote and fission or budding in prokaryote. Oxidative
enzymes packaged in eukaryote mitochondria make more unified pattern of
oxidative metabolism in comparison to prokaryote which lacks mitochondria. Cytoskeleton
and intracellular movement are absent in prokaryotes, while the presence of
complex cytoskeleton with microtubules, intermediate filaments and actin
filaments enable eukarotes to cytoplasmic streaming, endocytosis, phagocytosis,
mitosis and vesicle transport.
