What are the differences between bacterial cells to plant and animal cells?
Bacteria are prokaryotic lacking a membrane-formed nucleus and membrane-formed organelles. Bacteria have smaller ribosomes than plant and animal cells. Bacteria have a single, circular chromosome and may have plasmids. Eukaryotes have multiple linear chromosomes. Bacteria flagella if present have rotary action; Eukaryotic cells have whip-like flagella. Bacterial cell walls are composed of peptidoglycan; plant cell walls are composed of cellulose.
