🦠🦠BACTERIA (ADRE)
BACTERIA (ADRE) BACTERIA Bacteria are **single-celled microorganisms** that belong to the domain of prokaryotes, which means they have cells that lack a true nucleus and other organelles. They are incredibly diverse, existing in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be found in virtually every environment on Earth, from soil to water to the human body. Here are some key characteristics of bacteria: - Cell Structure : Bacteria have a simple cell structure without a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles. Their genetic material is contained in a single, circular DNA strand located in a region called the nucleoid¹. - Cell Wall : Most bacteria have a strong cell wall made of peptidoglycan, which provides shape and protection.Certain bacteria possess an extra coating on their exterior known as a capsule. Shapes : The three main shapes of bacteria are cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped), and spirilla (spiral-shaped). - Reproduction : Bacteria typically reproduce asexuall...
