Which of the following is a characteristic observation about bacterial cells?
A
They have a nucleus.
B
They have a complex cytoskeleton.
C
They are multicellular.
D
They lack membrane-bound organelles.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic structure of bacterial cells: Bacteria are prokaryotic cells, which means they do not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles.
Recognize that prokaryotic cells, like bacteria, have a simpler structure compared to eukaryotic cells. This simplicity includes the absence of a complex cytoskeleton.
Identify that bacteria are typically unicellular organisms, meaning they consist of a single cell, unlike multicellular organisms.
Recall that the defining feature of prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, is the lack of membrane-bound organelles, which includes the absence of a nucleus.
Conclude that the characteristic observation about bacterial cells is that they lack membrane-bound organelles, distinguishing them from eukaryotic cells.
