Bacteria are unicellular organisms that have a cell wall but do not have a nucleus. They have DNA material that are of two types - plasmids and chromosomal.
Chromosomal DNA have genetic information and the plasmids have extra information that gives the bacteria genetic advantage such as antibiotic resistance. Some bacteria have a whip like flagellum that helps the bacteria to move along.

∙ 13y agoWHAT IS BACTERIA?
- bacteria is a simple organism,
- bacteria is single-celled organism=unicellular organism
- bacteria was called as prokaryotes because it genetic material is not enclosed by special nuclear membrane.
- there is 3 common shapes of bacteria; bacillus(rodlike), coccus (spherical) and spiral(corkscrew).
- there is 3 groupings of bacteria; pairs, chains and clusters.
- they reproduce by binary fission (dividing into 2 equal cells)
- enclosed by cell walls that was peptidoglycan (composed of carbohydrate and protein complex)

How are bacteria different from animal and plant cells?
Bacteria usually don't have all the organelles that plant and animal cells do, such as mitochondria, chloroplasts (plants), golgi apparatus, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulums, etc. Bacteria cells are simple as compared to the plant and animal cells.
What bacteria lack in the cytoplasm?
The bacteria that lack cytoplasm, is the eukaryotic cells. These cells do not contain cytoplasm, and they are also not a bacteria that can replicate on its own.
