besides the fact that most dna is encased in a protective membrane, probably the most significant difference is that prokaryote dna does not have introns and exons nor is it in a diploid state.

Bacterial DNA is typically circular whereas cellular DNA is linear.

Bacteria have one single circular DNA, while eukaryotes have many linear chromosomes in an organelle called the nucleus.
