What is this?
A bacterial cell is a super tiny living thing made of just one cell, so small you can only see it with a microscope. These amazing little creatures can live almost everywhere, from hot springs to inside your belly, and some are helpful while others can make you sick.
Key Parts to Explore
Cell Wall
This tough outer layer protects the bacterial cell and gives it shape.
Cell Membrane
This thin layer inside the cell wall acts like a gate, deciding what enters and leaves the cell.
Cytoplasm
This is the jelly-like substance that fills the cell and holds all the other parts.
DNA (Genetic Material)
This is like the cell's instruction book, telling it how to grow and what to do.
