Bacterial Cell

Molecular classification
Cell
01

Overview

A bacterial cell is a prokaryotic, unicellular organism lacking membrane-bound organelles. It is characterized by a relatively simple structure compared to eukaryotic cells and plays essential roles in ecosystems, human health, and disease. Key structural components include the cell envelope (capsule, cell wall, plasma membrane), cytoplasm, nucleoid region, ribosomes, and plasmids. Surface structures like pili/fimbriae and flagella mediate adhesion and motility. Antibiotic targets include peptidoglycan, ribosomes, and plasma membrane.
