Q

Bacteria cells

A

Are prokaryotic which mean they are unicellular (1 cell)

They don’t contain mitochondria or chloroplasts

They have a circular strand of dna which they need to survive+reproduce

Some bacteria contain plasmids-extra genes which contain (anti-biotic resistance)

Some also have flagella (which allow the bacteria to move around)
