Distinguish between bacteria, protozoa, and fungi based on the following characteristics: cell size and internal/external structures (organelles), arrangements of cells, cell wall composition, motility.

Expert Solution

Answer =

Distinguish between bacteria, protozoa, and fungi as follows:

	Bacteria	protozoa	Fungi
cell size	They are small in size .about 0.5 to 5.0micrometer in length.	size is between 10 to 100 micrometer in diameter.	size is 2 to 10 micrometer.
internal organelles	Chromosomes and ribosomes.	Golgi apparatus,mitochondria ,lysosome, food vacuoles.	mitochondria,endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus.
External organelles	Flagella, pilli, capsule, cell wall	pseudopodia, cilia and flagella.	Hypae, mycelium.
arrangements of cells	Diplo,staphylo, strepto,tetrad and sarcina.	-	arrangement is called as coenocytic hypae.
cell wall composition	peptidoglycan or murein	They lack cell wall.	chitin, glucans and glycoproteins.
motility	motile.gliding type of motility due to flagella.	motile due to flagella, cilia.	Usually non motile.

based on the following characteristics: cell size and internal/external structures (organelles), arrangements of cells, cell wall composition, motility.
