Prokaryote is a unicellular organism lacking a nucleus. Eukaryote is an organism of one or more cells each of which has a nucleus.

Neither. Penicillin is a substance derived from the Penicillium fungus. All fungi are eukaryotes.

Penicillin is neither eukaryote or prokaryote.
It is an antibiotic (a kind of chemical) produced by Penicillium, a fungi in a eukaryote domain.

eukaryotic cells are very complex and have things like a distinct nucleus, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum.

prokayotic are the opposite.
