What else can I help you with?
Why do microbes need a host?
To reproduce
Why do you culture microbes?
To make sure that they don't turn homosexual and end up trying to reproduce with the other gay microbes.
What attracts fungus to reproduce on a certain substance?
the microbes in the moisture of a stale food attracts fungus to reproduce ,where the stale food becomes the substrata for the fungus to grow and multiply.
What concentration of a drug is one at which microbes survive but are not able to grow and reproduce?
The concentration of a drug that inhibits microbial growth but allows survival is referred to as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). At the MIC, microbes can still survive but do not grow or reproduce effectively. This can be an important measure for determining the efficacy of a drug against specific strains of bacteria.
What microbes can only reproduce inside the cells of animals or plants?
Virus is a pathogen that can only reproduce inside a host cell. Some protists exhibit similar behavior. ---------------------- This being because many of the species of viruses do not have nuclei or a way to produce offspring. These microbes require a host cell for survival and reproductive purposes.
Why is cellulose good for microbes?
Cellulose is good for microbes because it is a complex carbohydrate that serves as a source of energy and carbon for many microorganisms. Microbes that can break down cellulose, such as cellulolytic bacteria and fungi, play a crucial role in recycling organic matter and nutrient cycling in ecosystems. The ability to degrade cellulose allows these microbes to thrive in environments rich in plant material.
Which food has been preserved by taking away a substance that the microbes need in order to grow and reproduce?
Water is one thing that is removed to preserve food. For example jerky. Taking away microbes by sterilizing, you prevent their regrowth. For example canned food.
How does dehydration prevent microbes from growing in food?
Dehydration removes moisture from food, creating an environment where microbes cannot thrive because they require moisture to grow. Without water, bacteria and other microorganisms are unable to reproduce or metabolize effectively, decreasing the risk of foodborne illnesses. Additionally, dehydration can inhibit enzymatic activity in microbes, further preventing their growth in food.
What are microbes and how do they grow?
Microbes are microscopic organisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They can grow and reproduce by multiplying through processes like binary fission (division into two identical cells), budding, spore formation, or viral replication. The growth of microbes is influenced by factors such as temperature, pH, nutrients, and oxygen availability.
What would the microbes do after eating up all the oil?
After consuming the oil, the microbes would metabolize it into simpler compounds to generate energy and grow. Some microbes may also store excess energy as intracellular reserves or grow and reproduce to increase their population size. Eventually, they may return to a dormant state until they encounter more oil or another suitable food source.
Can monkeys get pregnat?
First, lets fix your spelling, "Can monkeys get pregnant?" Certainly. Pretty much any species that has legs and quite a few that don't (fish, snakes) engage in sexual reproduction and can be pregnant. The only things that don't get pregnant are some microbes, which reproduce by splitting (mitosis/meosis) and viruses, which reproduce by invading a host cell and making it reproduce for them.
Which microbes have to be in cells to reproduce?
Viruses must be inside cells in order to replicate. They don't really reproduce in the biological sense. Their DNA or RNA takes over a living cell and causes it to make and assemble virus parts. Eventually the cell will burst, releasing the newly replicated viruses.
