Expert Solution
Step 1

Bacterial cells lack a membrane bound nucleus. Their genetic material is naked within the cytoplasm. Ribosomes are their only type of organelle. The term “nucleoid” is the region of the cytoplasm where c circular chromosome is present.

 A wall outside the cell membrane gives the cell support, and protection against mechanical stress or damage from osmotic rupture and lysis.
