You're right -- bacteria cannot do end...@Anon,<br /><br />You're right -- bacteria cannot do endocytosis in any form, and digest their food outside, importing stuff via channels instead. For the most part. As far as I know, we don't really know of any endocytosing bacteria, but there may well be some group out there we're totally unaware of. But so far, no endomembrane trafficking.<br /><br />Endocytosis is one very prominent feature unique to eukaryotes -- some even argue endocytosis is exactly what enabled eukaryotes to become so different from our prokaryotic brethren!

So they must digest their food always outside their cell?<br />Sunshine to your lab!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643556495084083743.post-59331274380091732582010-01-25T02:22:45.475-08:002010-01-25T02:22:45.475-08:00Microbe Kombat, surely :D
