Bacterial Cell Structure
Bacterial cells are much smaller than animal and plant cells. They are prokaryotic and lack a true nucleus.
Do you know where the DNA is stored?

Which statement about bacterial cells is correct?
How do bacterial cells usually compare in size with plant and animal cells?
In a bacterial cell, what are plasmids?

The genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus, but exists as a single DNA loop.
They may also contain small rings of DNA called plasmids.
Bacterial cells have a cell wall, but it is NOT made of cellulose (unlike plant cells).
