Cellular structure of Bacteria.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteria

Intracellular structures
The bacterial cell is surrounded by a lipid membrane (also known as a cell membrane or plasma membrane). This membrane encloses the contents of the cell and acts as a barrier to hold nutrients, proteins and other essential components of the cytoplasm within the cell. As they are prokaryotes, bacteria do not usually have membrane-bound organelles in their cytoplasm, and thus contain few large intracellular structures. They lack a true nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts and the other organelles present in eukaryotic cells.
