Salmonella is classified as a prokaryotic organism. This means that its cells lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Instead, Salmonella, like other bacteria, has a single circular chromosome located in the nucleoid region of the cell. Additionally, Salmonella cells contain ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis, but they do not have membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria or a complex endoplasmic reticulum. This classification distinguishes Salmonella as a prokaryote, contrasting with eukaryotic organisms, which include plants, animals, fungi, and protists, and have cells with a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
