They take electrons for their electron transport chain.
Are plants and algae the only organisms containing chlorophyll that allows them to harness sunlight as a means for energy?
No, some protista and bacteria can harness the sun's energy also.
What does oxidising mean in science?
The oxidizing hazard symbol means the substance has the ability to react with oxygen, usually dangerously.
What makes bacteria grow faster?
Some bacteria are autotrophs. This means they produce their own food, allowing them to grow on their own terms. As well, bacteria grow by binary fission, whereas fungi have to grow by either branching and elongating, or budding, which takes longer.
What Means that the bacteria causes disease?
the bacteria makes you sick.
Is a pathogen a type of virus that only kills bacteria?
No. The word pathogen means to "make disease". The type of virus that kills only bacteria are called bacteriophages which means "bacteria eaters".
What does diplobacterium mean?
Well diplo means double and bacterium means bacteria so the answer is Double Bacteria
What does oxidising hazard symbol mean?
The oxidizing hazard symbol means the substance has the ability to react with oxygen, usually dangerously.
Why do bacteria make their own food?
Some bacteria(not all) are autotrophic bacteria which means that they can make their own food.These bacteria can be separated into two groupsphotosynthetic bacteriachemosynthetic bacteriaphotosynthetic bacteria contains bacteriochlorophyll which is dispersed in their cytoplasm and so they are able to make their organic food by the process of photosynthesis.e.g green sulphur bacteria,purple sulphur bacteria etcchemosynthetic bacteria oxidize inorganic compounds like ammonia,nitrate,nitrite,sulphur or iron and trap the energy and prepare their food.e.g nitrifying bacteria are chemosynthetic.
Why are the majority of bacteria considered heterotrophic?
Heterotrophic means " other eaters " which means these bacteria can not make their own food and much engulf it, whether other bacteria or plant like matter. Autotroph means " own food " and these bacteria preform photosynthesis.
What is chemosynthetic bacteria?
Chemosynthetic bacteria means bacteria that can make chemical things (synthetic). Basically any bacteria are chemosynthetic - they all product different chemicals as part of their metabolism. There are methanogens that produce methane gas, there are photosynthetic organisms that produce oxygen (like plants, and the ancestry of plants), others can produce nitrogen gas, like those bacteria that live in nodules on legume plants. Other bacteria can produce acids from fermentation like proprionic acid which gives Swiss cheese its nutty flavor. So lots and lots of bacteria are chemosynthetic. It just depends on what you want to produce.
What is the most popular means by which bacteria obtain food?
bacteria are decomposers wich means they rely on dead organisms for food
