What structure is not found in bacterial cells?

One structure you would not find in a bacterial cell is a mitochondrion. One bacterial disease that is transmitted by contaminated drinking water is cholera.


What cells structures is associated with the breakdown of harmful substances or substances that are no longer needed by the cell?

Mitochondria


What are mitochondria found in?

Mitochondria are found in both plant and animal Cells.


Why are mitochondria and chloroplast considered cells or bacteria?

I'm not sure about chloroplasts, but with mitochondria evolutionary history has led biolgists to believe that the mitochondria now present in eukaryotic cells to have originated a couple billion years ago when a very basic eukaryotic cell injested (ate) a bacterial cell. Then, instead of digesting it for food, the bacterial cell just stayed inside and functioned with the eukaryotic cell. The evidence for this lies in the structure, genetic information (mitochondria have their own DNA and replicate separately) and proteins present. This is why it could be considered a cell (bacterial), because it, at one point in history, was an actual bacterial cell. i think the above answer is a little misleading to the question. so my answer is mitochondria and chloroplast are not considered cells or bacteria. bacteria is a cell and mitochondria and chloroplasts can be found in cells (plant and animal cells, not bacteria cells).


Where in the mitochondria does the citric acid cycle take place?

It occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria

Why do scientists believe that mitochondria were separate organisms?

There are several reasons. First, mitochondria have a capsule around them very similar to bacterial capsules. Second, mitochondria are the only organelles in animal cells with their own genetic material. Third, mitochondria replicate themselves. Fourth, mitochondria are genetically similar to some bacteria.


How does bacteria differ from eukaryotes?

Bacterial cells have a simpler structure. They do not have a separate nucleus or organelles like mitochondria or chloroplasts.


Which of the following are associated with matter and energy transfers in eukaryotic cells?

chloroplasts and mitochondria


Does salmonella have mitochondria?

Salmonella are bacterial group.They do not have mitochondria.


What types of cells are bacteria cells?

Bacteria are a large domain of single-celled, prokaryote microorganisms.


Does ecoli have a mitochondria?

E coli are bacterial type.They do not have mitochondria.


How can mitochondria be linked to phagocytosis?

Through cellular evolution! The mitochondria has a genome of its own. It is extremely similar to bacterial DNA. The thought is that as cellular evolution has occurred the mitochondria may have been phagocytised creating the symbiotic relationship we see in eukaryotic cells today.
