1. Bacteria have a single, circular chromosome. White blood cells have many, (more-or-less) linear chromosomes. (Exact number depends on species.)
2. The bacterial chromosome is loose within the cell. In white blood cells (and other eukaryotic cells), the chromosomes are contained within the neucleus.
3. Bacteria do not (generally) contain organelles. (Although some may contain gas vesicles or simple nutrient storage structures.)
4. Bacterial ribosomes are smaller than eukaryotic ribosomes. (70S vs. 80S)
5. Bacteria have a cell wall, white blood cells do not.
6. Depending on the type of bacteria they may or may not photosynthesize (eg. cyanobacteria). White blood cells never photosynthesize.
7. Some bacteria may have cilia and/or flagella.
8. A bacterium is a complete organism all on its own. A white blood cell is part of a much larger organism.
9. Bacteria reproduce via "binary fission" or "budding", white blood cells replicate via mitosis.

What are the differences between alpha hemolysis and beta hemolysis in terms of their effects on red blood cells?
Alpha hemolysis is a partial breakdown of red blood cells, causing a greenish discoloration around the colony of bacteria. Beta hemolysis is a complete breakdown of red blood cells, resulting in a clear zone around the colony of bacteria.
What are the differences between beta and alpha hemolytic bacteria in terms of their hemolytic activity?
Alpha hemolytic bacteria partially break down red blood cells, causing a greenish discoloration on blood agar plates, while beta hemolytic bacteria completely break down red blood cells, leading to a clear zone around the bacterial colonies on blood agar plates.
What are the genetic differences between bacteria cells and human body cells?
One key genetic difference is the presence of a nucleus in human cells, which bacteria lack. Human cells have linear chromosomes enclosed within the nucleus, while bacteria have a single circular chromosome located in the cytoplasm. Additionally, bacteria may have plasmids, small circular DNA molecules that are often absent in human cells.
What fights bacteria that enters the body?
The immune system fights bacteria that enters the body. It does this by using various defense mechanisms such as white blood cells, antibodies, and complement proteins to identify and destroy the invading bacteria.
What blood cells engulfing eating disease causing bacteria is an example of what?
Phagocytosis by white blood cells, such as macrophages and neutrophils, is an example of the immune system's innate defense mechanism against disease-causing bacteria. These cells recognize and engulf the bacteria to prevent infection and promote immunity.

Why do only bacterial infections cause pus formation?
Viruses stay inside the cells. They can not be attacked by the white blood cells. Bacteria are usually stay outside the cells. They are readily attacked by the white blood cells. There is fight between white blood cells and bacteria. Pus contains the dead bacteria and dead white blood cells. That is why the pus formation occurs in bacterial infection only. This is the probable answer to above question.
What can bacteria do that viruses cannot?
Bacteria can attack and kill cells. White blood cells can kill bacteria.
What blood cells fight pathogens?
White blood cells fight infection while the red blood cells carry blood to your heart.
Is white blood cells a virus or bacteria?
White blood cells are cells in the immune system that help fight off infections caused by viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. They are not viruses or bacteria themselves.
What happens to the bacteria when it is blended with white blood cells?
White blood cells can engulf and digest bacteria through a process called phagocytosis. Once inside the white blood cells, specialized enzymes break down the bacteria to eliminate the infection.
What is the part of the blood that protects from harmful bacteria?
The part of blood that protects us from harmful bacteria are white blood cells.
Pus is composed of?
bacteria, white blood cells, and damaged cells
Wraps around harmful bacteria and produce antibodies to combat diseases?
White blood cells are the backbone of the bodies immunity. White blood cells attach to bad cells or bacteria to help fight of disease.
What kind of white blood cells is made of dead bacteria and white blood cells?
the neutrophis they are known as pus cells
There are two cells that have no nucleus what are they?
Red Blood Cells in eukaryotes Bacteria Cells in prokaryotes
