Bacteria reproduce through a process called binary fission, where a bacterial cell splits into two identical daughter cells. During binary fission, the bacterial cell replicates its DNA and then divides the cell into two new cells. This process allows bacteria to rapidly multiply and increase their population.
Dehydration can cause bacteria to become dormant or enter a state of suspended animation, known as spore formation, to protect themselves. This can make them more resistant to environmental stresses and disinfection methods. However, prolonged dehydration can eventually lead to the death of the bacteria.
The plural of bacterium is bacteria. The plural possessive is bacteria's.(e.g. The bacteria's differing metabolisms make some more susceptible to the drugs.)
There is no specific percentage of bacteria that will make you sick as it varies depending on the type of bacteria, your immune system, and other factors. In general, a high concentration of harmful bacteria is more likely to cause illness, but even a small amount of some bacteria can make you sick if they are pathogenic. It is important to practice good hygiene and food safety to minimize the risk of bacterial infections.
There is no significant difference in the amount of bacteria that dark socks versus white socks may harbor in a shoe. Bacteria are generally present on the feet regardless of sock color. Good foot hygiene and proper shoe maintenance are more important factors in preventing bacterial growth.
Bacteria that produce thick walls around themselves are called Gram-positive bacteria. These bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer in their cell wall that retains the purple stain in the Gram staining technique. This thick wall provides structural support and protection to the bacterial cell.
Bacteriophages (bacteria eaters) are produced by bacteria. Since viruses cannot reproduce on their own, they have to take over the DNA of bacteria to make more of themselves.
Yes, bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. They invade bacterial cells and use the bacteria's cellular machinery to make more copies of themselves, eventually causing the bacterium to burst, releasing more phages to infect other bacteria.

BACTERIA release harmful toxins. VIRUSES take over your cells completely and make copies of themselves! : )

They are not bad in themselves. What make them bad for your health are the bacteria that they carry with them. Some of them can make you very sick.
No, bacteria can not endocytosise another bacteria. bacteria contains cell wall, DNA called nucleoid and cytoplasm. Bacteria can make its own proteins by its ribosomes..No, they do not. They are not large enough for more bacteria inside.
not sure
Mitosis
Gram positive bacteria protect themselves using antibiotic resistance and their flagella to move. They do not have a membrane like the gram negative bacteria.
No. Bacteria are not viruses and can not commander other cells in their replication,which is only simplistic fission.
