                        1. Capsule - Protective Layer
                          1. Cell Wall - Gives cell shape
                            1. Cell Membrane - semirane-permeable membrane
                              1. Nuclear Material - Distinguishes one bacteria from another
                                1. Ribosome - Makes proteins
                                  1. Flagellae - Allows cell to move

                                      1. 1.Nuclear material divides in two
                                        1. 2. Membrane forms between two sets of nuclear Material
                                          1. 3. cell wall forms dividing cell into two daughter cells
                                            1. 4. Cells separate
                                              1. Bacteria produce rapidly
                                    2. Advantages and disadvantages of Bacteria
