Eukaryotes possess a nucleus that is separated from the rest of the cell by a double-layered nuclear membrane. Prokaryotes lack a nucleus. Prokaryotes also lack all membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticula, and Golgi bodies. Such organelles are present in eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are generally also much smaller than eukaryotes, and are usually unicellular.

1st major difference is that prokaryotes do not have a nucleus, while eukaryotes do.
