● Hence, the assertion is true, but the reason is false.
● Bacteria belong to the Prokaryota group.
● Their genetic material is present in a region called the nucleoid.
● Bacteria do not have membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria or Golgi bodies.
● Examples of eukaryotic organisms include plants, animals, fungi, and protozoa.
● Bacteria reproduce mainly by binary fission.
● The cell wall of bacteria is usually made of peptidoglycan.
● Some bacteria are beneficial and used in industries like food and medicine.
● Others can be pathogenic and cause diseases such as tuberculosis and cholera.
