What does a endospore to to a bacterium?
Endospores allow bacteria to survive in hostile conditions where growth would be impossible such as desication or extreams of heat.
What does the chromosome of a bacterium do?
The chromosome of a bacterium does essentially the same thing that chromosomes do for all life forms. It describes the formation of proteins for the organism, allowing it to produce and grow the proper structures at the proper time, allowing it to survive most efficiently.
How does the fact that when a bacterium reproduces the offspring are exact copies of the parent bacterium affect under what conditions would this stadegy would help a species continue in the future?
The reason that bacteria have been able to survive so long is that the asexual reproduction that they use allows for very little mutation, so as long as the environment stays the same, the bacteria will thrive. When mutation, or evolution does occur, because of the asexual reproduction the mutations are much more extreme and fast (because there is no recombination fo the DNA as in sexual reproduction). So the species will be able to survive in the new environment, thus the bacteria are able to survive.
What does campylobacter need to survive?
A microaerophilic environment. well first of all it needs the four things that all bacteria to thrive ; Warmth , Food , Moisture and Time . Sorry but that is all i know
What do endospores do for bacteria?
It allows the bacteria to create a resistant and dormant cell that can preserve the original cells genetic material when put under extremely unfavourable conditions
What type of environment do bacterium need to survive?
Damp and warm places.
Why do bacterium grow well in warm climate?
bacterium can survive in extreme temperatures. except at temperatures to hot they die immediatly. at temperatures to cold they go into isolation and are inactive. at a warm humid climate it is the best situation for a bacterium.
What behavioral adaptations could best help an organism survive seasonal changes in precipitation?
Estivation
How a bacterium is able to control its diverse and complex metabolic activities even though it lacks a brain?
Bacterium is able to control its metabolic activities even though it does not have a brain because it is automatic engrained into the bacterium to survive. They can change their protein and enzymes so they can adapt to the changing environment.
Does the bacteria tetanus need a host to survive?
No. The bacterium Clostridium tetani forms an endospore and can survive for long periods of time. When the endospore is introduced into a favorable environment it begins to metabolize.
Why is it necessary for bacteria to be able to withstand fluctuations in temperature within the human body?
A bacterium's cell membrane allows it to withstand fluctuations in temperature within the human body. This is necessary in order for the bacterium to survive in that environment.
What helps African lions survive?
hunt
What does a endospore to to a bacterium?
Endospores allow bacteria to survive in hostile conditions where growth would be impossible such as desication or extreams of heat.
Can African penguins survive in a subtropical region?
