Detailed explanation-1: -Because bacteria are prokaryotic, they do not have a nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles. In contrast, plants and animals are made up of eukaryotic cells, which means they have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria or golgi apparatus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bacteria cells are very different from animal, plant or fungal cells. They don’t have organelles such as nuclei, mitochondria or chloroplasts. Although they do have ribosomes and a cell wall, these are both different in structure to the ribosomes and cell walls in the cells above.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cell wall is made of cellulose lignin. Bacterial cell wall is made of peptidoglycan which is in turn made of derivatives of sugar as N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid which are covalently attached to the core protein. Therefore, bacteria is said to be more like plant cell than animal cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacterial cells are single celled organisms that can only be seen by microscope only. They have the ability to survive in diverse environments. These organisms can have different habitats like soil, the ocean and inside the human gut. They are classified as prokaryotes that mean they do not have membrane bound nucleus.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bacteria are individual living cells. Bacteria cells are similar to your cells in many ways; yet, they also have distinct differences. Bacteria have many unique adaptations allowing them to live in many different environments.
