Hmm I looked at a Venn chart and it said this. Prokaryotes are small and are bacteria they have a cell membrane, unicellular,DNA, and reproduce. And that Eukaryotes are large have a nucleus, multicellular, human, fungi, specialized, they have a cell membrane, unicellular, DNA, and reproduce. I just don't get these thing... I looked it up and they both have nucleus...
