Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have ribosomes. Prokaryotic ribosomes are 70S (composed of 30S and 50S subunits), while eukaryotic ribosomes are 80S (composed of 40S and 60S subunits), so prokaryotes have smaller ribosomes.

Answer:

Prokaryotes have smaller ribosomes than eukaryotes.
