Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms who lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, chloroplasts. They are thought to be primitive organisms because they possess an incipient nucleus and show division similar to amitosis. Amitosis is a method of cell division in which spindle fibers are not formed.

Hello mate..

Question:

Why bacteria is called a primitive cell?

Answer:

Bacteria are called that because the first ones discovered, in the 1800s, were rod-shaped. Scientists who discover new things often turn to classical Latin and Greek for ideas for what to name them. In 1838, German naturalist Christian Ehrenberg coined the name bacteria from the Greek, bakteria, meaning “cane,” “staff,” or “little stick.”

In 1838, German naturalist Christian Ehrenberg coined the name bacteria from the Greek, bakteria, meaning “cane,” “staff,” or “little stick.”Since that time, of course, other kinds of bacteria have been discovered (cocci, spirillum, spirochaetes), but the word bacteria stuck for all of them collectively, with different names (those two and bacilli) for different types. The bacteria living today aren’t any more “primitive” than your own body cells, though. Bacteria and ourselves have equally long evolutionary histories.
