* '''Bacteria''' — Single-celled microorganisms that lack a nucleus (Prokaryotes).
* '''Metabolism''' — The chemical processes that occur within a bacterial cell to maintain life (e.g., Fermentation, Respiration).
* '''Binary Fission''' — The simple process where one bacterial cell splits into two identical "Clones."
* '''Peptidoglycan''' — The unique "Mesh" that makes up the bacterial cell wall (the target of many antibiotics like Penicillin).
* '''Flagellum''' — A whip-like "Tail" used by bacteria to swim through liquids.
* '''Endospore''' — A "Dormant" and indestructible version of a bacterium that can survive for thousands of years without food or water.
* '''Quorum Sensing''' — The way bacteria "Talk" to each other using chemical signals to coordinate a group attack or build a colony.
* '''Chemotaxis''' — The movement of a bacterium toward a "Good" smell (food) or away from a "Bad" smell (toxin).
* '''Plasmids''' — Tiny, extra loops of DNA that bacteria can "Swap" with each other to share skills like antibiotic resistance.
* '''Gram Stain''' — A lab test that colors bacteria based on their cell wall structure (Purple for Gram-positive, Pink for Gram-negative).
