The plasmids do not need chromosomes in order to split. They also have chromosomal DNA, which carries the genetic information. They differ from plant and animal cells because they don't have a nucleus. They also don't have mitochondria. It has a cell wall surrounding the cell membrane. The cell wall is similar to a plant cell's, but is more flexible. Some bacteria have a flagellum. A flagellum is like a tail and helps the bacteria move. Some bacteria have more than one flagellum, called flagella. Some bacteria have none. Bacteria live in the intestines and help with digestion. They help with the production of foods such as cheese and yoghurt. They help with the decomposition and recycling of dead plants and animals. They help with the production of antibiotics. Photosynthetic bacteria can produce oxygen. 1 of 2 Fungal Cells It has a cell wall. It has a vacuole. The cell wall is made from chitin. Chitin is the material arthropods make their exoskeletons with. Yeast reproduces asexually. This process is known as budding in a yeast cell. 2 of 2
