Bacteria and other living cells have some universal features that are, they are present in all the living cells.
These features include:
Plasma membrane: The lipid bilayer which separates the cell from the external environment. It is present in all the living organism.
Cytoplasm: It is a gel-like substance present within the plasma membrane of the cell (excluding nucleus). It contains and supports all the cell organelles and cell parts.
Ribosome: It is a vesicular structure made up of protein and ribosomal RNA. It is the main site of protein synthesis in all the cells. Prokaryotes generally contain 70S ribosomes and eukaryotes generally contain 80S ribosomes.
Genetic material: All the living organisms contains genetic material (usually DNA) either confined in the nucleus or floating freely in the cytoplasm.
They have ribosomes.They contain cytoplasm. Some things bacteria have in common with cells of other living
organisms is they both have chromosomes, they both have organelles
and a nucleus, and are alive.
