Bacteria that produce thick walls around themselves are called?
many bacteria can produce thick-walled endospores when conditions are unfavorable.
Most bacteria are surrounded by a rigid protective structure called the?
cell wall
Saclike structure that stores materials for use by the cell?
A saclike structure where materials are stored to be use by the cell is called a vacuole. Plants, fungal cells, animals, bacteria, and few protist cells has vacuole.
What causes bacteria to increase?
They consume food, and divide themselves in a processes called cellular mitosis. It is the same process that lead to you building your body.
A prokaryotic cell reproduces through a process called what?
Prokaryotic cells reproduce by binary fission (splitting in two).
What is the whip-like appendage called on some bacteria?
Some bacteria have a whip-like tail called aflagellum. This structure is essential for locomotion, or motility.
A structure that digests worn out cells and bacteria is called?
Lysosomes
The structure that surrounds the bacteria and gives it shape is known as?
This structure is called as Cell Wall that gives shape to the bacteria. This wall gives protection to the bacteria and prevents it from exploding because of osmotic lysis.
What structures if present allow bacteria to move?
A bacteria moves using a structure called the flagellum, which resembles a tail.
What is the structure that synthesizes proteins in bacteria?
I believe you are looking for the organelle called a Ribosome(s)
What morphological structure is responsible for bacteria motility?
Bacteria commonly get their motility from an external structure(s) called a flagellum (if they have many, the plural form is flagella). Other motile bacteria have a cellular shape as a spiral (screw). The full mechanism of their motility is not understood. There are many types of spiral bacteria, some with and others without any flagellum. There are also bacteria (e.g. Magnetotactic bacteria and others) that will orient directionally, though not self-induced. They contain minerals such as iron in their cellular structure that orients or moves them slightly within magnetic fields. Other bacteria can also be vertically motile through changes in their bouyancy.
What is a structure outside the plasma membrane and gives support to some cells?
This structure is called a cell wall and it is found in plant cells and bacteria cells.
Bacteria that produce thick walls around themselves are called?
many bacteria can produce thick-walled endospores when conditions are unfavorable.
What reproduces through a process called fission?
Bacteria, amoeba, prokaryotes reproduce through an asexual process called "binary fission".
What is a structure that carries materials through the cytoplasm called?
cells
Most bacteria are surrounded by a rigid protective structure called the?
cell wall
How do you separate nitrogen from soil?
Bacteria in the soil called nitrogen-fixing bacteria go through a process called nitrogen-fixation which allows nitrogen to enter the atmosphere
