    Prokaryotic cells are smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells, lacking structures like a nucleus and cytoskeleton. They have circular DNA located in the cytoplasm, divide through binary fission, and can reproduce asexually or sexually. In contrast, eukaryotic cells are larger with nuclear membrane-bound DNA, undergo mitosis and meiosis, and reproduce sexually; they have organelles and a more developed cytoskeleton and cell membrane structures.
