The similarities and differences between animal cell and bacterial cell.
Answers
Answer:
Bacterial and animal cell are two types of living cells. Bacterial cell belongs to kingdom Monera and animal cell belongs to the kingdom "Animalia". Bacteria are unicellular organisms (consist of a single cell or they exist as a single cell) and animals are multicellular organisms as they are made of many cells.
Explanation:
bacterial cell is a prokaryotic cell. It is a simple, unicellular microorganism which means all life processes like feeding, digestion, and reproduction occur in one cell. It lacks the membrane-bound nucleus and organelles like mitochondria, lysosomes and other specialized cellular structures to perform cellular functions like energy production, transport of proteins etc. The cell wall of the bacterial cell is made up of glycoprotein, murein. Its main function is to provide support, mechanical strength and rigidity to the bacterial cell. It lacks the well-defined nucleus; its nucleus is known as nucleoid which is an irregularly shaped region in the cell that contains separate circular pieces of DNA (genetic material) called plasmids.Animal cells are eukaryotic cells. They are the basic unit of life of organisms which belong to kingdom Animalia. They have a well-defined membrane-bound nucleus, cytoplasm surrounded by plasma membrane and membrane-bound cell organelles in the cytoplasm to perform specific cellular functions necessary for the normal functioning of the cell. They can be of various sizes and shapes. Their size generally ranges between 1 and 100 micrometers.
