Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller in size compared to eukaryotic cells. Also, prokaryotic cells lack membrane - bound organelles (such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus with a nuclear membrane etc.) which makes them less complex than eukaryotic cells that have these membrane - bound organelles.

Answer:

Prokaryotic cells are smaller and less complex.
