eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
animal and plant cells are eukaryotic and bacteria cells are prokaryotic
prokaryotic cells  
a simple cell that does not have a nucleus, the DNA is free in the cytoplasm.
include bacteria cells.
eukaryotic cell 
a cell that does have a nucleus.
includes plant, animal and fungi cells.
Eukaryotic cell 
Size - 5 μm to 100 μm
Outer layers of cell - cell membrane, surrounded by cell wall in plants and fungi
Cell contents - cytoplasm, cell organelles include mitochondria, chloroplasts in plants and ribosomes
Genetic material - DNA in a nucleus, plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms
Type of cell division - mitosis
prokaryotic cells  
Outer layer of cell - cell membrane, surrounded by cell wall
Cell contents - cytoplasm, ribosomes, no mitochondria or chloroplasts
Genetic material - DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm, additional DNA is found on one or more rings called plasmids
Type of cell division - binary fission
summary
Eukaryotic cells are plant, animal and fungi cells where as prokaryotic cells are bacteria cells.
The DNA in eukaryotic cells is in the nucleus, whereas the DNA in prokaryotic cells is free in the cytoplasm.
Eukaryotic cells are bigger than prokaryotic cells
