Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells are unicellular and lack membrane - bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells can be uni - or multi - cellular and have membrane - bound organelles. This explains the differences in the cell components listed in the chart. For example, prokaryotes lack mitochondria, nucleus, and nucleolus which are present in eukaryotes (animal and plant cells). All cells have a cell membrane, ribosomes, cytoplasm and DNA. Plant and bacterial cells have cell walls while animal cells do not.

Answer:

1. Prokaryotic cells are always unicellular and do not have complex, membrane - bound organelles.
2. Eukaryotic cells can be multicellular or unicellular and they have complex, membrane - bound organelles.
3. All cells are not the same because prokaryotic cells are simple and small and eukaryotic cells are complex and large.
4. Cells are like an apartment because they are relatively simple (for prokaryotes) or like a mansion because they are complex (for eukaryotes) in structure and organization.
