Bacterial cells are prokaryotic, which means they have DNA, but NO nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. A nucleus is a feature of a eukaryotic cell. A nucleus is DNA surrounded by a membrane;it's where the DNA is stored. DNA is basically a set of instructions read by the cell and DNA tells the cell how to function(you probably already know this though).
an organelle is a part of the cell that is contained within a membrane and sectioned off from the rest of the cell; they usually perform specific functions within the cell.
Bacterial cells are always unicellular, meaning bacteria never have more than once cell. Bacteria may group together to form colonies(safety in numbers), but they don't come together to make a larger organism.
Bacteria can multiply by undergoing a process called fission, where the DNA that freefloats in the cell makes a copy of itself and the two separate strands attach to a different part of the membrane. The membrane then divides around each strand of DNA, producing two new cells.
All other eukaryotic cells (cells with nuclei and organelles) undergo mitosis to divide.
So:
-Bacteria are always prokaryotic and are only one cell.
-Bacteria are cells that have no internal organization.
(no nucleus or organelles)
-Bacteria undergo fission when they divide.
-Bacteria are almost always smaller than a eukaryotic cell.

Does milk have chromosomes in its cells?
Milk itself has no cells. Milk is an emulsion of different proteins, fats, other phospholipids, sugars, and enzymes. The only thing cellular in milk would be bacterial contaminates. That's what pasteurization is for.
What is the major differences between a bacterial cell and the cell of other organisms?
All bacterial cells do not have a nucleus but the cells of other animal have nucleus which is usually spherical or oval in shape inside it there are chromosomes that form a dense tangle referred to as chromatin.
What do all of the bacterial kingdoms have in common that is different from the organisms in other kingdoms?

What is the influence of the pH on the gram reaction in gram staining?
In what regard? You need heat in order to heat fix the bacterial cells to the slide. This adheres cells to the slide. Otherwise, the bacterial cells would wash off the slide during the Gram staining process. If you leave the slide in the Bunsen burner too long, then you can distort the bacterial cell shape and size and also have other artifacts appear on the slide that are not bacterial cells.
What is a difference between a typical animal cell and a bacterial cell?
The main difference between an animal cell and a bacterial cell is that a bacterial cell contains a plasmid, a ring of DNA, opposed to the chromosomes that animal cells possess. There are other differences, such as size (bacterial cells are many times smaller) and whether or not they contain membrane bound organelles, which bacteria do not. Bacteria cells have also flagella/flagellum that an animal cells (except spermatozoa or sperm cells) does not, a "tail" strand that extends out of the cell to propel it forward.
Why plant animal and bacterial cells have different parts?
well, bacterial cells are mostly made to destroy and damage other cells and plant and animal cells are meant to produce and help the body.
How is the bacterial cell different than other cells?
it is a singular (prokaryotic) cell
How are the cells of bacteria different from all the other cells?
The main difference is that bacterial DNA is not enclosed inside of a membrane-bound nucleus but instead resides inside the bacterial cytoplasm.
How are bacterial cells different form other cells?
because not STUPID no in real life i dont k either so we are both stupid
What do bacterial cells compare to?
bacterial cells compare to the inside body to the sperm cell. other than that they do really compare to anything.
Organisims that eat other organisims are called?
heterotrophs
Does a bacterial cell have a distinct nucleus?
No. Bacterial cells lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
How do bacterial cells differ from other cells?
Do not contain a nucleus or some other organelles.
How is bacterial and animals different?
Ummm . . . bacteria are animals, too. They are one-celled, while most other animals have a whole bunch of cells.
How is a Bacterial cell different from an ordnary plant cell?
A bacterial cell is a simple, or prokaryote, cell. This means it has no nucleus or other cell organelles. A plant cell is a complex, or eukaryote, cell. Plant cells have organelles. Both cells have a cell wall. A bacterial cell is a simple, or prokaryote, cell. This means it has no nucleus or other cell organelles. A plant cell is a complex, or eukaryote, cell.

How are bacterial cell and human body cell similar?
*there are made of cells *there the basic unite of structure and function *there are cells produced from other cells
How do bacterial cells differ from other types of cells?
most bacteria dont have a nucleus, unlike others.
