Does bacterium have eukaryotic or prokarotic cells?

Bacteria have prokaryotic cells. This means they lack a distinct nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells.


What kind of cell does a phage infect?

A phage infects bacterial cells by injecting its genetic material into the host bacterium. Once inside, the phage hijacks the bacterium's cellular machinery to replicate and produce more phage particles, ultimately leading to the bacterium's destruction.


Which cell can survive independently without the assistance of other cells?

A single-celled organism, such as a bacterium or a protist, can survive independently without the assistance of other cells.


How do you calculate the actual size of the bacterium?

Bacterium size is measured by a technique called Micrometry. With micrometry you can measured the size of very small beings like bacteria, cells, etc. This technique involves the use of a microscope in which the eye piece is calibrated in micrometers. A similarly calibrated slide is used for standardization. The specimen is then mounted and the size measured. Normally, the size of many cells are taken into account and an average value is taken, since all cells may not be of the same size.


Why may a bacterium be considered a plant cell?

A bacterium may be considered a plant cell because it possesses a cell wall, similar to plant cells, which provides structural support. Additionally, some bacteria contain chlorophyll and are capable of photosynthesis, just like plants. However, it is worth noting that bacteria are prokaryotes and fundamentally different from eukaryotic plant cells.
