This question is to broad to answer. There are several things that are different. Bacteria do not contain membrane bound organelles so all the organelles present in eukaryotes are not in prokaryotic cells.

How is bacterial cell same with animal cell?

They both have cytoplasm and have DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)


Is the organelle in the plant cell or animal cell?

Organelles can be found in all kinds of cells: animal, plant, bacterial, etc.


Why bacterial cell is not considered a true animal cell?

Bacterial cells are not considered true animal cells because they lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, which are characteristic features of eukaryotic cells, including animal cells. Instead, bacteria are prokaryotic cells, meaning their genetic material is housed in a nucleoid region without a surrounding membrane. Additionally, bacterial cell walls contain peptidoglycan, whereas animal cells do not have cell walls. These fundamental structural differences contribute to the classification of bacteria as distinct from animal cells.


How are the steps in the infection of an animal cell by a virus different from the infection of a bacterial cell by a virus?

Infection of an animal cell by a virus typically involves the virus attaching to specific receptors on the cell surface, entering the cell through endocytosis or direct fusion, replicating using host cell machinery, and then releasing new viruses by budding or cell lysis. In contrast, infection of a bacterial cell by a virus (called a bacteriophage) usually involves the phage injecting its genetic material into the bacterium, hijacking the bacterial machinery to replicate, and then causing lysis of the bacterial cell to release new phages.


What is a difference between a typical animal cell and a bacterial cell?

The main difference between an animal cell and a bacterial cell is that a bacterial cell contains a plasmid, a ring of DNA, opposed to the chromosomes that animal cells possess. There are other differences, such as size (bacterial cells are many times smaller) and whether or not they contain membrane bound organelles, which bacteria do not. Bacteria cells have also flagella/flagellum that an animal cells (except spermatozoa or sperm cells) does not, a "tail" strand that extends out of the cell to propel it forward.
