Difference between bacterial and eukaryotic cells.

Introduction:

Fundamentally in nature, there are two different types of cells, prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are smaller in size. The average size is $\text{1}\text{.1}-\text{1}\text{.5}\text{μm}$ (in terms of width) and length is $\text{2}-\text{6}\text{μm}$. They are most diverse and abundant life forms on the earth. Eukaryotes belong to domain Eukarya and these organisms have membrane bound organelles and nucleus.
