A eukaryotic cell is at least 15 times larger than a prokaryotic cell. It is also up to 1000 times greater in volume. The eukaryotic cell is more complex, and contains specific parts that carry out specific functions. One thing that a eukaryotic cell has that a prokaryotic cell doesn't have is a nucleus that contains genetic material and DNA, and this is how the eukaryotic cell gets its name, as eukaryotic stands for "true nucleus".
