How do bacterial cells differ from the cells of eukaryotes

Summarized in table below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bacteria Eukaryotes

Small cells Huge cells

Unicellular Multicellular

Free-floating nucleoid Membrane-enclosed nucleus

Simple DNA Complex DNA

Circular DNA Linear DNA

Free-floating organelles Membrane-enclosed organelles

Small ribosomes Large ribosomes

No mitochondria Mitochondria

or chloroplasts or chloroplasts

Aerobic or anaerobic Aerobic only

Eukaryotic cells are membrane-bound & have a nucleus. Bacterial cells or prokaryotes have no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.
