What structures are found in E. coli?

Cell membrane, pilli, and ribosomes are common structures found in E. coli. Also, nucleolus and plasmids are found in E. coli.


Do E. coli cells have DNA?

Yes, E. coli cells have DNA. They contain a single circular chromosome that carries the majority of their genetic information, as well as smaller circular DNA molecules called plasmids, which can carry additional genes. This DNA is essential for their growth, reproduction, and function.


How are an ecoli cell and human cell different?

E. coli cells are prokaryotic, meaning they lack a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while human cells are eukaryotic, possessing a nucleus and various organelles. Additionally, E. coli are generally smaller and simpler in structure, with a single circular chromosome, whereas human cells have multiple linear chromosomes. Furthermore, E. coli reproduce asexually through binary fission, while human cells undergo complex processes of mitosis and meiosis for growth and reproduction.

How many base pair long is the E. coli chromosome?

There are several different strains of E. coli, each having about five million (5,000,000) base pairs. For example, uropathogenic E. coli (the one commonly associated with urinary tract infections) has about 5,231,428 base pairs, while E. coli K-12 has 4,639,221. The number of base pairs an organism has in its genes is commonly referred to as genome size. A web search for "genome size E. coli" is how I found these numbers.

How one of the E coli bacteria living in your mouth or intestine is different from one of your own cheek cells lining your mouth?

Cheek cells are eukaryotic, meaning they have a membrane-bound nucleus which contains the cell's DNA. They also have other membrane-bound organelles, like mitochondria. Bacteria, including E. coli, are prokaryotic, meaning they lack a nucleus, and their DNA is contained withing a circular chromosome in the cytoplasm, and they lack other membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria.
