Some bacteria benefit mammals by helping with?
One good benefit for herbivores is relative to the appendix. Plant's have different cells to animals in that they have a cell wall, which is made up of cellulose. Mammals typically have difficulty digesting this material and it can lower the amount of nutrition absorbed from their food. Herbivores tend to have a relatively large appendix and this provides a 'safe house' for bacteria to colonise, within the bacteria colony are bacteria who can digest cellulose, allowing the mammal to benefit from extra nutritional absorption. As a side note, evolution predicts this trend in the size of the appendix and easily explains why herbivores have a larger appendix than carnivores or omnivores.
How can bacteria benefit contaminated soil?
Bacteria can benefit contaminated soil by biodegrading pollutants, breaking them down into less harmful substances. They can also bind and immobilize toxic metals, reducing their availability for uptake by plants. Additionally, some bacteria can enhance soil fertility by fixing nitrogen and improving nutrient availability for plant growth.
Common characteristics that a bacteria and a mammal share?
Almost nothing. Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotes, some of which are autotrophic; mammals are multicellular eukaryotes, all of which are heterotrophic. Bacteria are considered the least advanced organisms on earth; mammals, along with birds, are considered the most advanced. The bodies of mammals contain bacteria, most of which are helpful or harmless, and a few of which are harmful. The only common characteristics of mammals and bacteria are the 7 basic characteristics of living things: all living things maintain homeostasis, are organized into one or more cells, obtain and release energy, grow and develop, adapt to their environments, respond to stimuli, and reproduce.
Does a mammal reproduce sexually or asexually?
All mammals reproduce sexually. Pretty much all vertebrates (fish, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians) reproduce sexually. Only some bacteria, some plants, fungi reproduce asexually.
What is a benefit to some bacteria that use alcoholic fermentation?
The benefit to using some bacteria for alcohol fermentation is that the bacteria will convert the sugars in the alcohol and carbon dioxide. The sugar will break down to form pyruvic acid and then into ethanol. Without the bacteria, the sugars or glucose would not break down properly, and the fermentation will not work.
What is the mutualistic relationship between animals and digestive bacteria?
The animals need the bacteria to help break down the food. The bacteria benefit since they get food, while we benefit since the bacteria help us digest our food.
Are mammals asexually or sexually?
Mammals are sexual, meaning that they reproduce sexually.
How do you benefit from bacteria that makes cheese?
you get tastier cheese
Type of bacteria in Pea plant roots that benefit the plant?

What id biotechnology?
Biotechnology is the practice of using plants, animals and micro-organisms such as bacteria, as well as biological processes - such as the ripening of fruit or the bacteria that break down compost - to some benefit.
Why might it benefit for a pathogen to be small?
There might be a benefit for a pathogen to be small because it helps some plants like beans maintain nitrogen fixation in nodules on their root. It is also beneficial to some animals like cows, which maintain bacteria in their stomachs. The bacteria help in breaking down the hard cell walls of plants.
How does bacteria benefit humans?
Bacteria are important in the formation of certain foods. They are also used in mining and bioremediation (using bacteria to clean up the environment). In addition, bacteria that colonize different places in your body out compete other bacteria that may be harmful.
