Related QuestionsFAQ'sBacteria are living organisms. They are microscopic and mostly unicellular, with a relatively simple cell structure lacking a cell nucleus, cytoskeleton, and organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. Bacteria are the most abundant of all organisms. They are ubiquitous in soil, water, and as symbionts of other organisms. Many pathogens are bacteria. Most are minute. They generally have cell walls, like plant and fungal cells, but with a very different composition (peptidoglycans).Related Questions
