Intracellular Bacterial Cell Structures
In comparison to eukaryotes, the intracellular features of the bacterial cell are extremely simple. Bacteria do not contain organelles in the same sense as eukaryotes.

They do exist, however, specialized groups of bacteria that contain more complex intracellular structures, some of which are discussed below.

Famous quotes containing the words cell and/or structures:
“A cell for prayer, a hall for joy,—
They treated nature as they would.”

“The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
