Prokaryotic cells are characterized by the absence of membrane-bound organelles, a single circular chromosome, potential plasmids, small ribosomes, and lack of cytoskeletal structures, with sizes typically between 1-10 micrometers.
Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles, possess a circular chromosome, may have plasmids, have small ribosomes, lack a cytoskeleton, and range from 1 to 10 micrometers in size.
