Prokaryotes: Bacteria are one-celled organisms classified as prokaryotes, meaning they lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. (Source content)
Binary Fission: Asexual reproduction process in bacteria where the cell duplicates its genetic material, elongates, and then pinches in the middle to produce two identical daughter cells. (Source content)
Cell Wall: Most bacteria have a cell wall, a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane, providing shape and protection. (Source content)
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek: Dutch scientist who first observed bacteria in the late 1600s, calling them ‘animalcules’ after viewing plaque from his teeth under a microscope. (Source content)
Mutualistic Bacteria: Bacteria that benefit their hosts; for example, Lactobacillus acidophilus helps with digestion. (Source content)
