Study Notes
Bacterial Cell Characteristics
- The size and shape of a bacterial cell is determined by its plane of division.
- Bacterial cells are not limited to spherical shapes,contrary to the common misconception.
- Prokaryotic cells, which include bacterial cells, lack internal membrane systems.
- Archaea, although prokaryotic, have distinct structures and functions that differ from those of bacteria.
- A typical bacterial cell is significantly smaller than a typical plant cell, unlike what is often assumed.
Test your knowledge of bacterial cell structure with this quiz. Learn about the characteristics originally used to describe prokaryotic cells and form an opinion on the "prokaryote" controversy using current evidence about bacterial cells. Distinguish a typical bacterial cell from a typical plant or animal cell.
