Bacteria are nothing but one-celled organisms too small to be seen without the help of magnification. A single bacteria cell measures only 1/25400 of an inch across. ... Bacteria have simple structures and many biologists classify them as plants, but others place them in a group that is neither a plant nor animal. Most bacteria lack chlorophyll and cannot make their own food like plants do. But there are some types called photosynthesis bacteria that do contain kinds of chlorophyll and make their own food.
Bacteria reproduce by a process called simple fission. This is where the bacteria divide into two separate bacteria cells. Bacteria can grow and reproduce very quickly under good conditions. In some bacteria, such bacteria division may occur as often as every 15 minutes.
