Question

Bacteria are multicellular organisms which lack chlorophyll.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Bacteria are microscopic single-celled organisms. They are everywhere in the environment. In plants, animals, humans, every non-living object and even in soil. They are prokaryotic.

Complete answer:

As every other prokaryote, bacteria too does not have membrane-bound organelles. They exist in pairs, clusters or even single. Their mode of reproduction is asexual. Mainly by binary fission, the bacterial cell divides itself into two daughter cells which are identical. First the DNA of the bacteria is replicated then the splitting takes place.
Bacteria respond differently to each external environment. They cannot tolerate UV radiation and heat.
Based on the nutrition, bacteria is classified as autotrophic or heterotrophic. Bacteria possess different shapes. Some of these are spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrios).

Bacteria can be both beneficial and harmful. They might infect humans and cause infections but they are also proven to be advantageous in industries and medicinal fields. They are also used in the food industry as making curd, bread requires bacteria.
Since they are prokaryotes, they lack organelles, also they lack chloroplasts so they cannot have chlorophyll.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: The genetic information of a bacteria is stored in its DNA. Some bacteria possess plasmid; which is an extra circle of genetic material. They can only multiply inside a host cell and their size varies.
