Welcome to Bacteria 101, where we cover the fundamentals of being a tiny, single-celled organism.
Bacteria are prokaryotic cells, meaning they lack a nucleus. But don't let that fool you – they're still pretty cool.
They're single-celled, which is just a fancy way of saying "we're alone in the world". But hey, who needs friends when you have a robust cell wall?
Bacteria can be either good or bad, like a choose-your-own-adventure book for microbes.
