yes and no- there are many types of bacteria and since they are ALL autotrophs we don't help them get food BUT we also can provide them a home in our mouths or in our bodies.

Do bacteria adapted better life on the earth than human beings?

Perhaps as bacteria have been around millions of years longer than humans.


What should humans eat to live longer lives?

Humans need to eat lean protein, fruit and vegetables in order to live longer lives. Most experts agree that sugar and milk products contribute to disease.


Which would evolve faster humans or bacteria?

Bacteria would evolve faster than humans due to their shorter generation times and larger population sizes, allowing for quicker adaptation to environmental changes and mutations to occur. Humans have longer generation times and smaller population sizes, slowing down the rate of evolution.


How do bacteria compare with humans?

Bacteria and humans differ significantly in complexity and organization; bacteria are single-celled organisms, while humans are multicellular, complex beings composed of trillions of cells. Bacteria reproduce rapidly through binary fission, whereas humans reproduce sexually and have longer gestation periods. Additionally, bacteria have a simpler genetic structure and can thrive in diverse environments, often adapting quickly to changes, while humans rely on more intricate biological systems and social structures for survival. Despite these differences, both play crucial roles in ecosystems and can impact each other, particularly in areas like health and disease.


What process of cell division take longer in humans then bacterial cells?

The process of Meosis I i.e. a mitotic division in meosis which do not take place in bacteria is longer and in that mitotic division prophase is the longest part and is even longer then bacterial prophase


What organisms have the shorter life spans than humans?

The vast majority of organisms have a shorter life span than humans, everything from bacteria to insects to hummingbirds to dogs. Only a few have longer life spans.


How can drug resistance in bacteria be harmful to humans?

Drug resistance in bacteria can be harmful to humans because it can result in less effective treatments for infections. Higher doses may be needed to treat infections, and so treatment may have more risks. In some cases, antibiotics may no longer be effective at all.


Why can the effects of evolution be seen faster in bacteria than in humans?

Bacteria reproduce quite rapidly - in many case it takes only a matter of minutes. Changes to the genetic material would therefore be seen much faster than with humans whose life cycle is quite long.

Why do humans look after there offspring longer than cats and dogs?

Humans have a longer infancy and longer life span than most animals, so they have to care for their young for a longer period of time.


Why do you think humans need to be taken care of much longer than all other animals?

Humans have a longer period of dependency due to the complexity of our brains and the extensive learning required for survival. Our culture and society also play a role in extending this period of care and support compared to other animals. Additionally, our longer lifespan and slower maturation process contribute to the need for extended care from parents or caregivers.
