Expert Solution

Step 1

Since there are multiple questions in this particular question, I'll answer the first one for you. If the answers to other questions are intended, please post the questions separately.

Bacteria are a type of biological cell. They constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms.

The characteristics are:

lack of membrane-bound organelles
unicellular
small (usually microscopic) size.
