 * __ Introduction __**
 * Have you ever wondered about Bacteria or in just any kind of cell. Bacteria are microscopic organisms that don’t have a nucleus or any complex organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. Bacteria may not be that complex, but they still have a cell membrane, cell wall and a capsule. Did you know that there are more different types of Bacteria than there are different pancakes at Chips in Wethersfield.**
 * __What is Bacteria__**


 * When you were little did you ever think about what is bacteria or why it might be important. Bacteria is important because they digest food that your body can’t. For instance, your body cannot digest dairy and vegetables by itself, so bacteria does.**


 * Bacteria is a small single cell organisms that don’t have a nucleus that stores substances. Unlike plant and animal cells, bacteria don’t contain complex organelles. Bacteria are too small to see with the naked eye. Scientist need a microscope that can make an object 1,000 times its size. Did you know that 500 bacteria cells are as big as a period on a paper.**
 * __Where do Bacteria live?__**


 * Bacteria are everywhere. They live inside your body, in water and in food. There are over a trillion inside your body and some thousand on your teeth. You can also find bacteria in the most extreme places on earth; like hot springs and in the deep depths of the ocean where there is little to no sunlight.**


 * There are many different types of bacteria living on your skin. They work together to fight off harmful bacteria that cause disease so it doesn’t get you sick.**


 * All of the body opening is where bacteria is popular. For instance, your mouth or where there is a cut on your body.**


 * __How do Bacteria move?__**


 * A Bacteria may have a Flagellum,a long, whip like structure, that helps Bacteria to move. A Flagellum cell spins in place like a propeller. Bacteria cells either have one, none or more. Most Bacteria cells do not have a Flagella and can’t move on their own. Bacteria cells that do not have Flagella drift through the air, water and animals.**


 * __Bacteria: Friend or Foe?__**
 * When you were little you thought that Bacteria was all bad. Well Bacteria some Bacteria are bad for you. Did you know that most Bacteria is good for you. Some bacteria fight off harmful germs that can make you sick. Also Bacteria helps digest food that your body can’t digest on its own. For instance your body has trouble digest dairy and vegetables. **


 * There are very few harmful Bacteria, but some harmful ones can multiply its amount in minutes. Bacteria is responsible for strep throat, food poisoning and many more diseases. **
 * Yes Bacteria is harmful, but it helps you in many ways. **

__**What does Bacteria look like?**__


 * Did you know that 500 Bacteria is the same size of the period on your paper. Bacteria are to small to see with a naked eye. Scientist need a microscope that magnifies an object 1,000 times its size. Even though Bacteria is very small there are about a trillion Bacterial cells in a average persons body. **

__**Conclusion **__
 * There are thousands of species of bacteria, but all of them are basically one of three different shapes. Some are rod-shaped called bacilli and some that are shaped like little balls called Cocci. Also others are spiral shaped called borrelia. **


 * Bacteria may be harmful, but we wouldn’t be alive if they didn’t do their jobs. They made oxyton so that complex organisms like us could breath. So the next time you think that Bacteria is bad remember that you wouldn’t be alive without them. **



This is a diagram of a bacteria cell. As you can see that inside the cell it doesn't have any complex organelles.
