Bacteria is an unicellular organism ( meaning it is made up of only one cell). Every cell has tiny organelles that helP it do certain things. The organelle named mitochondria makes energy for the cells to do things like growing.
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.
Only certain bacteria can grow on sugar (sucrose). In order for a bacteria to be able to grow on sugar a certain level of moisture must be present along with the ability to absorb sugar as a food/energy source.
bacteria need a carbohydrate energy source to act as a fuel for respiration- glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water (+ ATP energy). bacteria need to respire to allow them to grow in large numbers so that you are able to see the colony as a whole (when growing them in a lab).
fungi and bacteria grow from spores.
Not all bacteria do. Some can not grow in the presence of oxygen. Those that do (obligate aerobes and facultative anaerobes) grow quicker in oxygen since it facilitiates their energy cycle and ideal environment.
Bacteria can gain energy through processes like photosynthesis (using light to create energy), chemosynthesis (using inorganic compounds to create energy), and fermentation (breaking down organic compounds without oxygen). These processes allow bacteria to produce ATP, the cell's energy currency, to carry out essential functions.
They get their energy from the grass get the energy from the sun and help from bacteria and rain that helps it grow.

For the same reason that you do; to gain food (substenance) and energy with which to survive.
Only certain bacteria can grow on sugar (sucrose). In order for a bacteria to be able to grow on sugar a certain level of moisture must be present along with the ability to absorb sugar as a food/energy source.
Many bacteria are classified as chemotrophs because they obtain energy by breaking down organic molecules chemically.
No, bacteria do not grow on fat

All bacteria grow and reproduce
fungi and bacteria grow from spores.
Not all bacteria do. Some can not grow in the presence of oxygen. Those that do (obligate aerobes and facultative anaerobes) grow quicker in oxygen since it facilitiates their energy cycle and ideal environment.
There are a few different temperatures that allow you to grow bacteria. Warm temperatures tend to grow bacteria rather well.
