Best Answer

The correct answer is neither. Bacteria cells are prokaryotes (single-celled organisms), whereas both animal and plant cells are eukaryotes (multi-celled organisms).

However, when it comes down to a cellular level, the cells of many bacterial organisms are similar to those of animal cells, many resemble plant cells, and some are characteristic to both.

The main distinguishing feature between prokaryote bacteria cells and eukaryote animal and plant cells is the lack of a nucleus in prokaryotes.

How does a bacteria cell differ a plant or animal cell?

A bacteria cell differs structurally from plant and animal cells because of its small size. A bacteria cell has flagella outside of the cell to help it move. A bacteria cell does not contain organelles. Only the chromosome and sometimes ribosomes are visible in a bacteria cell.

Would you find cell membrane in a plant or animal cell?

Yes, you will find it in a plant cell, an animal(human) cell and in a bacteria cell. It is required for one cell in order to be cell =]
