Question

Which of the following is true about bacteria?
Options
A They all produce spores for reproduction
B They have cell membrane and cell wall
Correct Answer
C All bacteria are aerobes
D They grow best at acidic pH
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Almost all bacteria possess both a cell membrane and a cell wall (with a few exceptions like Mycoplasma). Not all bacteria produce spores (only some genera like Bacillus and Clostridium), not all are aerobes (many are anaerobes or facultative), and while some are acidophiles, many grow best at neutral pH.

Hint

Consider the universal structural components found in nearly all bacterial cells.
