The main difference between eukaryotic and bacterial cytoplasmic membranes is that eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane with phospholipid bilayer with proteins, while that of bacterial cell has lipids and lower amounts of protein. Moreover, eukaryotic membranes have sterols and carbohydrates which are absent in bacterial cytoplasmic membrane.
