Yogurt bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Streptococcus, are typically much smaller than animal cells, measuring around 1 to 3 micrometers in length. In contrast, animal cells generally range from 10 to 30 micrometers in diameter. This size difference highlights the complexity and multicellularity of animal cells compared to the simpler, unicellular structure of yogurt bacteria.
An animal cell has a nucleus, membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, and typically larger in size compared to a bacterium cell. These components allow animal cells to perform more complex functions compared to bacterium cells.
Cell Wall
Animal cells are bigger I think.
The cell organelle present in both a bacterium and a plant cell but not an animal cell is the cell wall. The cell wall provides structure, protection, and support to these cells, maintaining their shape and integrity. Animal cells do not have a cell wall, but instead have a flexible cell membrane for support.
Bacterium and plant cells have a cell wall, a rigid structure that provides support and protection. Animal cells do not have a cell wall, but instead have a plasma membrane for structure and support.
The plant cell is smaller than the animal cell
A bacterium has a cell membrane, not a cell wall.
To infect an animal cell, a bacterium must penetrate the cell membrane, which acts as a barrier protecting the cell's interior. This process often involves the bacterium using specific surface proteins or structures, such as pili or fimbriae, to adhere to the cell surface. Once attached, many bacteria secrete enzymes or toxins that facilitate the disruption of the membrane or exploit cellular mechanisms to gain entry. Successful penetration allows the bacterium to access the cellular environment and replicate.
Bacteria are all unicelular, but some live in colonies where they actually don't differ that much in cell size. 'Bacteria' is the plural form of 'bacterium'.
there are many parts to a cell as there are many rooms to a castle.
The nucleus is the brains of the cell, it tells every part of the cell what to do. You can compare it to the human brain.
Bacterium is a prokariyote.Others are eukariyotic cells.
