The biggest difference between a prokaryote and a eukaryote is the presence of a true-nucleus. Prokaryote does not contain a membrane-bound nucleus and has its DNA suspended in nucleoid region. Eukaryotes do have its nucleus surrounded by a nuclear membrane.

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a distinct nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes are typically smaller and simpler in structure compared to eukaryotes.

Eu stands for true and karyo stands for nucleus. This can be used to help remember the difference between a eukaryote and a prokaryote.
