Answer:

True

Explanation:

Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms. Being prokaryotes, bacteria do not have a nucleus in their cells. Their DNA or the genetic material lies in the cytoplasm itself. Therefore, if the observed cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, this means that those cells were not the bacterial cells. Bacterial cells also do not have other membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.
