The difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in transcription and translation?

In eukaryotes, transcription and translation take place in different cellular compartments: transcription takes place in the membrane-bounded nucleus, whereas translation takes place outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm. In prokaryotes, the two processes are closely couple. 

Three differences in transcription between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Eukaryotes have three types of RNA polymerases, I, II, and III, and prokaryotes only have one type. ... Another main difference between the two is that transcription and translation occurs simultaneously in prokaryotes and in eukaryotes the RNA is first transcribed in the nucleus and then translated in the cytoplasm.

The 5 differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Prokaryotic Cell. Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not.  Differences in cellular structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes include the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts, the cell wall, and the structure of chromosomal DNA. 

Two major differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells and one major similarity between the two?

What are at least two major differences between eukaryote and prokaryote cells and one major similarity between the two? Prokaryotes are typically single cell organisms, while eukaryotes cells are cells contained within organisms. Eukaryotes and prokaryote cells contain very different components within the cell.
