Bacteria

Bacteria are small living things that can be found almost everywhere. They live on the
ground, in oceans, in the food that we eat and even in our bodies. They have been on
earth long before there were any other organisms. Bacteria are so small you can only
see them with the help of a microscope. They have only one cell and very simple
structures.

Bacteria have outer cell walls that protect the inside. A cell membrane is inside the cell
wall. It prevents harmful substances from getting in and out. Inside the membrane is a
soft, jelly-like substance called the cytoplasm. It has chemicals that help build the parts
of a cell and break down food. Within it is the nucleoid, which contains the DNA. It
controls a cell’s growth and other activities

Bacteria appear in different shapes. Spherical bacteria are round or ball-like. Rod-
shaped bacteria live in your intestine and form chains. Spiral-shaped bacteria have a
twisted form.
