Question

(Using bullet points, write down 2-3 big ideas that you learned about bacterial cells. Answers must be in complete sentences.

Answer 1

- Bacterial cells are prokaryotic cells, meaning they lack a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Instead, their genetic material is located in a region called the nucleoid, which is not enclosed by a membrane.

- Bacterial cells can have different shapes, such as rod-shaped (bacillus), spherical (cocci), or spiral (spirilla). These cellular shapes can influence their ability to move, adhere to surfaces, or interact with other cells in their environment.
