How does the reproductive potential of bacteria affect illnesses caused by bacteria?
by the short generation time results in many bacteria in a short period of time.
What might change in an environment where there were no fungi?
Bacteria will have more matter to break down, but at the same time there won't be as much nutrients put back into the ground from the fungi.
Do all bacteria have generation time in minutes?
No. Some have a much slower generation time. The environment also has a effect on the rate of growth. If you put a culture in the refrigerator, the growth rate slows down a lot. That is one reason to keep food cold.
How do viruses differ from bacteria fungi and parasites?
Viruses aren't as "living" as the other three that you mentioned. The only thing viruses have in common with them is that they move. Viruses do not eat, breath, grow, or reproduce. They do reproduce, but not independently. Instead of taking over the host right away, many viruses go into a dormant stage, which means that they wait for the right time and climate (which could even take over a year, like most symptoms of HIV, for example) to do their job. Also, viruses do not attack until inside the cell wall. From there, the virus sends genetic material into the cell membrane, and the cell immediately goes to work reproducing the virus. The only reason viruses care to survive is to reproduce, and we don't know why. The first paragraph should have mainly answered your question, I just wanted to make sure you know the important facts--they help. Please give feedback! Thanks.
What types of plants PRODUCE spores?
Ferns mosses and fungi.
What is bacteria eaten by?
the animals that eat bacteria and fungi are mice, rats and squirrel. Badgers, rabbits, pigs an deer also eat bacteria and fungi.

Do bacteria and fungi live on other animals?
Yes, but not all the time (or even most of the time).
Are fungi bacteria and termites classified as a decomposer?
Most of the time, yes. However, some bacteria may be parasites or producers.
What do yellow slime molds feed on?
Most of the time, they are fed by bacteria, yeasts, and fungi.
Bacterial Generation time and example of fast growing bacteria and slow growing bacteria?
Bacterial generation time is the time is takes for a bacteria to double in quantity. An example of slow growing would be Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (24 hours) and fast growing would be E. Coli (about 20 minutes).

What are two major groups of decompsers?
There is daphnia, and there is actinomycetes. There is daphnia, and there is actinomycetes. bacteria and fungi
What causes food to expire?
Food will decay if bacteria or fungi is on the food because fungi and bacteria are living organisms so they eat at the flesh of the food which cause the fungi to spread or cause the bacteria to multiply which eventually will cause the food to eventually be 100% decomposed.
Is thrush a virus fungi or bacteria?
Thrush is caused by an overgrowth of yeast, often caused by use of antibiotics killing off good bacteria (as well as the bad).
Does bacteria has something to do with fungi?
Rather fungus can do more with bacteria.Bacterial colonies can be spoiled by fungus.In fact all the antibiotics(which kill bacteria) are derived from fungus.At the same time some bacteria can co-exist with fungus producing secondary bacterial infections.
