Bacteria

The structures and organelles associated with bacterial cells, both external and internal to the plasma membrane.

Though Bacteria are much simpler than eukaryotes both in terms of their cell structure and overall groupings together, nevertheless there are a number of structures that bacterial cells tend possess variations on including cell walls, cell membranes, ribosomes, what are known as nucleoids, cytoplasm, ribosomes, flagella, chromosomes, glycocalyx, etc.

Good introduction including to lipid bilayers and transport proteins.

The above video provides a nice comparison between prokaryotic cells, such as those of bacteria, and eukaryotic cells.

Above is an upbeat introduction to bacteria; watch out, though, with the definition of endotoxin (see following video for clarification).

Short, crude, but still very nice overview of bacterial cellular anatomy.

The above video may be too biochemical for our needs. But if you want to know how peptidoglycan is synthesized, well… Still, the early part of the video is well worth looking at (first 23 seconds or so).

I'm on the fence with regard to this video. It does, however, provide some interesting discussion of bacterial anatomy.

The above video provides some pretty images of binary fission.
