The three domains of life described by biologists today include the Bacteria, the Archaea and the Eukarya $($all other forms of life$).$ What is the principle difference between the Eukarya or eukaryotes and the prokaryotes $($Archaea and Bacteria$)?$

The eukaryotes have the interior of the cell divided by internal membranes into specialized compartments.

The prokaryotes do not have a plasma membrane surrounding the cell.

The prokaryotes use RNA and not DNA to pass on the genetic message.

The eukaryotes engage in cellular metabolism while the prokaryotes do not.

Eukaryotes have ribosomes, but prokaryotes do not and have no need of them.
