Answer:

A bacterial cell is a prokaryotic cell. Animal cells are eukaryotic cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

ANIMAL CELLS: They are the basic unit of life of organisms which belong to kingdom Animalia. They have a well-defined membrane-bound nucleus, cytoplasm surrounded by plasma membrane and membrane-bound cell organelles in the cytoplasm to perform specific cellular functions necessary for the normal functioning of the cell. They can be of various sizes and shapes. Their size generally ranges between 1 and 100 micrometers.

BACTERERIAL CELLS: It is a simple, unicellular microorganism which means all life processes like feeding, digestion, and reproduction occur in one cell. It lacks the membrane-bound nucleus and organelles like mitochondria, lysosomes and other specialized cellular structures to perform cellular functions like energy production, transport of proteins etc. The cell wall of the bacterial cell is made up of glycoprotein, murein. Its main function is to provide support, mechanical strength and rigidity to the bacterial cell
