A bacterial cell differs from a plant or animal cell in several key ways. The most accurate statement from your options is:
**It does not have a nucleus.**
Here's a brief overview of the differences:
1. **Nucleus**: Bacterial cells are prokaryotic, meaning they do not have a true nucleus. Their genetic material is not enclosed within a nuclear membrane, unlike plant and animal cells (which are eukaryotic) that have a defined nucleus.
2. **Cytoplasm**: Bacterial cells do have cytoplasm, so the statement "It has no cytoplasm" is incorrect.
3. **Organelles**: Bacterial cells lack membrane-bound organelles (such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, and the endoplasmic reticulum). While they do contain ribosomes, these are not membrane-bound. Therefore, the statement "It does not have organelles" is partially correct; bacteria lack membrane-bound organelles, but they do have ribosomes.
4. **Size**: Bacterial cells are generally much smaller than plant or animal cells. Therefore, the statement "It is much larger" is incorrect.
In summary, the most distinctive feature of bacterial cells in the context of your options is that they **do not have a nucleus**.
