Question

identify one way in which bacteria differ from humans

Answer 1

In many ways. First, and most obviously, bacteria are unicellular and therefore microscopic, while humans are multicellular and very much visible to the naked eye. Bacteria belong to the kingdoms Archaebacteria or Eubacteria, while humans are in Animalia. Bacteria are prokaryotes, while human cells are eukaryotes, which accounts for many of the structural differences. Human cells (and all animal cells) lack cell walls, rigid structures that cover cell membranes that some bacteria do have, and all plant cells have. Human cells, being animal cells, have centrioles, a structure used in cell division that are not present in prokaryotes (such as bacteria). Also, some bacteria are able to use endospores, envelope-like structures that aid in survival when environmental conditions are less than ideal. ~wiki answers
