Detailed explanation-1: -Animal cells are generally small in size when compared to the plant cell, on average they are 10-20 m (micrometers) in diameter. Plant cells are large. The bacterial cell is very small. It is about 0.5-5.0 m in diameter almost about one-tenth the size of a eukaryotic cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bacterial cells are very small-about 10 times smaller than most plant and animal cells. Most bacterial cells range in size from 0.2 to 10 microns or micrometers (0.0000079 to 0.00039 inches).

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells and animal cells are larger than bacterial cells. A plant cell is between 10-100 micrometres long and an animal cell is between 10-30 micrometres long. A bacterial cell on the other hand is between 0.5-5 micrometres long.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is much smaller in size than an animal cell, e.g. 0.2 to 10 micron in size.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
