They transfer [short, Dna] plasmids from Cell to Cell via a spike-shaped cytoplasmic extension known as a pillus (plural = pilli). Naturally, these pilli have a place of attachment.

Cells use the process of mitosis to divide during asexual reproduction?

During mitosis, a cell duplicates its DNA and divides into two identical daughter cells. This process allows an organism to grow and repair tissues through asexual reproduction.


Does mitosis or meiosis use bacteria to divide?

Neither mitosis nor meiosis uses bacteria to divide. Mitosis is a process of cell division in eukaryotic cells, while bacteria reproduce through a process called binary fission. Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells to produce gametes for sexual reproduction.


What type of reproduction bacteria use?

binary fission


Would you give me a sentence using the word sexual reproduction?

Animals use sexual reproduction while bacteria and some plants use asexual reproduction.


What does bacteria use oxygen for?

Bacteria use oxygen for cellular respiration, which is the process that generates energy for their growth and survival. In this process, bacteria break down sugars and other organic molecules into energy, carbon dioxide, and water in the presence of oxygen.


How is insulin produced using bacteria in the manufacturing process?

Insulin is produced using bacteria in a process called recombinant DNA technology. In this process, the gene for human insulin is inserted into the DNA of bacteria, such as E. coli. The bacteria then produce insulin as they grow and multiply. The insulin is harvested and purified for use in treating diabetes.


The process by which plants and some bacteria use the energy from sunlight to produce suger?

photosynthesis.


Does bacteria convert nitrogen from the air into a form plants can use?

Nitrogen-Fixing bacteria. aka Rhizobium


Do bacteria use the process glycolysis?

Yes, bacteria use glycolysis to break down glucose into energy in the form of ATP. Glycolysis is a universal metabolic pathway found in nearly all organisms, including bacteria.


Is lytic cycle a virus or a bacteria?

The lytic cycle is a process that viruses use to replicate within a host cell. It is not a characteristic of bacteria.


What process do single-celled organisms use to reproduce?

Most single-celled organisms reproduce through asexual reproduction. Some plants, fungi and bacteria reproduce in this way. In asexual reproduction, the offspring inherit the genes of only one parent.


Process by which plants and some bacteria use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some bacteria convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process involves the absorption of sunlight by chlorophyll in plant cells, which triggers a series of biochemical reactions to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
