For one, bacteria have flagellum that propel them from place to place; sort of like on the tentacles of a squid. They also have pili, hair-like structures that help them to attach to other cells.

They share most other structures with plant and animal cells, like a nucleoid, cell wall, plasma membrane, and outer membrane. They even have DNA like plants and animals.

Are bacterias animal?

Bacteria are not animals. Since a long time there has been a problem in understanding whether bacteria are plants or animals. Later it was taken as plants, because alike plants, bacteria possess a cell wall. Animals do not have a cell wall. The outermost organelle in animals is the cell membrane. Furthermore, bacteria also have a primitive form of nucleus, which makes them far different from plants. Hence they are put into a different kingdom called Archae. Thus, taking cell wall into consideration, bacteria are plants. But as a whole, they are neither plants nor animals. They rule a kingdom of their own.And yes.....the word "Bacteria" is itself the plural form. The singular form is "Bacterium". So do not write "bacterias".


How are plant and animal cells different than plant cells?

The cells of bacteria are different from those of plants and animals in many ways, the most obvious of which is that bacteria lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles (except ribosomes). Unlike animals and plants, bacteria have pili, flagella, and most have a cell capsule.


Did animals evolve from plants, or is there a separate evolutionary path for each kingdom?

Animals and plants have separate evolutionary paths. They both evolved from a common ancestor but took different paths in their development. Plants evolved from ancient photosynthetic bacteria, while animals evolved from multicellular organisms that were different from plants.


What might be different about getting DNA from bacteria or animals than getting it from plants?

The main difference is the cell wall composition. Bacteria and animals don't have cell walls, making it easier to extract DNA. In plants, the cell wall must be broken down first before DNA extraction can occur. Additionally, different methods and reagents may be required for extracting DNA from bacteria, animals, and plants.


Why bacteria is not classified as plants and animals?

Bacteria belong in their own domain (a massive range of organisms) and do not have the traits of plants and animals who are made up of numerous cells unlike bacteria.
