Learning Objectives:

• Describe the general bacterial cell structure and function, including differentiating between the most common shapes of bacteria and cell arrangements.
• Describe the general bacterial cytoplasmic content and compare it to eukaryotic cytoplasmic content.
• Describe special features of bacteria such as plasmids, flagella, or inclusion bodies and how they are necessary for bacteria to survive.

SOLUTION

Microbes differ in characteristics such as size, structure, habitat, metabolism, genetics, and more. Very broadly, microbes can be classified as acellular (without cells) or cellular. Prokaryotes and eukaryotes both have cells but differ in whether their cells have nuclei. However, acellular agents such as viruses do not have cells at all.….Please click the icon below to access entire solution at $10
