Bacteria do not contain membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria or chloroplasts, as eukaryotes do. However, photosynthetic bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, may be filled with tightly packed folds of their outer membrane. The effect of these membranes is to increase the potential surface area on which photosynthesis can take place.

No, bacteria do not have endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells, while bacteria are prokaryotic cells that lack membrane-bound organelles.


What are the eukaryotes bacteria?

Eukaryotes and bacteria are two distinct domains of life. Eukaryotes belong to the domain Eukarya and have complex cells with membrane-bound organelles, while bacteria belong to the domain Bacteria and are single-celled organisms without a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.

Yes, all bacteria are prokaryotes because they do not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles.


Why are bacteria different from protozoa?

Basically because bacteria are prokaryote and protozoa ( protists ) are eukaryote. Prokaryote cells are simple cell of no nucleus or membrane bound organelles. Eukaryote cells have their genetic material in a membrane bound nucleus and have many membrane bound organelles.


What are eukayotic bacteria called?

There are no eukaryote bacteria! All bacteria are prokaryote; not nucleus and no membrane bound organelles.


Are bacteria prokaryotes?

Yes, bacteria is prokaryotic because it does not have a nucleus, it does not have membrane covered organelles, and it has circular DNA instead of linear DNA.


Do animal and plant cells both have mitochondia?

Yes. Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles. Animal and plant cells are eukaryotes (that is, they contain membrane bound organelles). Only prokaryotes (which are mostly bacteria and don't contain membrane bound organelles) don't have mitochondria.
