A eukaryotic cell has membrane-bounded organelles, such as a nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. Prokaryotic cells, on the other hand, lack membrane-bounded organelles. Additionally, a eukaryotic cell typically does not have a cell wall with peptidoglycan as seen in bacterial cells. Eukaryotic cells can vary in size, but are generally larger than prokaryotic cells.
