Fill in the gaps in the following table illustrating differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Prokaryotic cell
1. Size: generally small (1-10 mm).
1 mm = 10-6m
2. Nuclear region:
..............
..............
and known as ..........
3. Chromosome: single
4. Membrance bound cell organelles absent.
Eukaryotic cell
1. Size: generally large (5 -100 mm).
2. Nuclear region: well defined and surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
3. More than one chromosome.
4. ..............

The differences between prokaryotic cell and eukaryotic cell are as follows:
Prokaryotic cell
1. Size: generally small (1-10 μm).
2. Nuclear region: poorly defined due to the absence of nuclear membrane, and known as nucleoid.
3. Chromosome: single
4. Membrane bound cell organelles absent.
Eukaryotic cell
1. Size: generally large (5 -100 mm).
2. Nuclear region: well defined and surrounded by a nuclear membrane.
3. More than one chromosome.
4. Membrane bound cell organelles, such as mitochondria, lysosome, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, etc. are present.
