What cell organelles do humans and bacteria have in common?

Human cells do not have a cell wall.





Basically human cells are eukaryotes - bacteria cells are prokaryotes.





You could count the cell membrane, which both cell types have - but the cell membrane in bacteria cells is surrounded by a cell wall (very different from the plant cell wall). Both cell types have ribosomes (stuff that translates mRNA into protein), but it should be noted that bacterial ribosomes are smaller in size (70S) than the ribosomes in animal cells, which are 80S (this difference is vital to the function of antibiotics).





Otherwise, the cells are very much different.
