What is one difference between the cells in a human body and bacterial cells?

Answer 1

Human cells can widely vary in form and function, even in a single human, because of the multicellular structure. Bacteria, on the other hand, are single-celled, and as such every cell is mostly the same.

Answer 2

Bacteria don't have DNA <--this is not true. Their DNA is circular rather than a double-helix like humans but it still comprises a chromosome and is written in exactly the same type of code using the same four bases. Their cells do not contain membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, and their outer structure is markedly different from humans consisting of peptidoglycans-these differences are a major target for many antibacterial drugs which is how they harm bacteria while leaving human eukaryotic cells alone. Penicillin for example inserts itself into the prokaryotic bacterial cell's machinery used for building its cell wall and causes it to be weak and the bacteria simply split open as they enlarge.

Answer 3

A human cell --------

1. is eukaryotic

2. has a well defined nuclear region surrounded by a nuclear membrane

3. has more than one chromosomes

4. has membrane bound cell organelles

A bacterial cell ------

1. is prokaryotic

2. does not have a well defined nuclear region, which is known as nucleoid and also the nuclear membrane is absent

3. has a single chromosome

4. does not have membrane bound cell organelles

Answer 4

Bacterial cells are prokaryotic while human cells are eukaryotic. Human cells have a membrane bound nuclues, bacterial cells do not. Human cells have DNA, bacterial cells have plasmid. Cell division occurs differently. Cell shapes differ.

Answer 5

This answer is from a girl in 6th grade. I go to The Delta Honors Program in MS 54. I learned about cells and stuff in the beginning of the year!

Animal cells(humans are animals too) are eukaryotic. Bacteria cells are prokayotic.

Answer 6

If you're asking about the structure then bacteria cells have flagella and pilus, which allows the bacteria cell to move and it also has cilia and plasma membrane which our cells doesn't have. Human cells have endoplasmic reticulum/Smooth),Golgi Apparatus,Ribosomes,Lysosomes,Centriole,Vacuole, and etc.

Answer 7

the genetic material is inside the nucleus, bacteria cells have flagella, and they have a cell wall.

Answer 8

Bacterial cells don't have a nucleus, because there's no cell membrane to hold it in, instead they have nucleic acid floating around. They also do not have organelles.
