Why does the oxygen lvel in water decrease as a result of dumping diodegradable wastes in a river?
In all bodies of water, there live micro-bacteria that need food just like us. These bacteria are not producers like plants; they cannot produce their own food. These bacteria decompose the biodegradable wastes that were dumped. When they do, they need Oxygen in order to break the wastes down into simpler molecules. Therefore, the amount of dissolved Oxygen in the river decreases.
Why is oxygen essential in supporting life?
Every animal need this gas for respiration. Oxygen helps to destroy the harmful bacteria in the body. It also helps in decaying.
Why don't bacteria need nitrogen?
Bacteria are extremely simple organisms. Most bacteria are a single cell, and are supported perfectly by sunlight alone. Some kinds of bacteria can live deep underwater, or encased in thousands of tons of rock. Some can even live in space. Overall bacteria do not need oxygen/nitrogen for any reason, because there body's do not need it to function, they are just to small and simple.
What do we need oxygen for?
We need oxygen for our cells to be able to convert food into energy. We breath in order to bring oxygen from the air into our bodies and carry it in the blood to our cells. Because we practice aerobic respiration we would die without oxygen. Some things, particularly many bacteria, can live without oxygen because they respire anaerobically.
Why is oxygen needed for a seed to germinate?
The seed will need to respire aerobically (glucose + oxygen= energy + CO2 + Water) in order to release the energy needed to grow.
How do plants grow in outer space?
i dont think thay can grow because the plants need oxygen and there is not oxygen in outer space
What bacterium doesn't need oxygen?
Microbes or bacteria that grow in an anaerobic environment don't need oxygen. They cannot generate energy through aerobic respiration and must employ fermentation or anaerobic respiration for this purpose. They can be: FACULTATIVE ANAEROBES: do not require oxygen for growth, but grow better in its presence. AEROTOLERANT ANAEROBES: such as Enterococcus faecallis, simply ignore oxygen and grow equally well whether it is present or not. STRICT/OBLIGATE ANAEROBES: do not tolerate oxygen at all and die in its presence, e.g., Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Clostridium pasteurianum, Methanococcus, Neocallimastix, etc.
What do all living things need to survivewater oxygen sunlight?
oxygen because we dont need sun light it wont help us grow
Bacteria in swellings on the roots of peanut plants convert what gas from the air into compounds the plants need to grow?
oxygen
Do fungi need oxygen to live?
most are aerobic - need oxygen. there are some that are anaerobic - grow without oxygen
What bacteria are microaerophiles?
These are microrganisms that need some or little oxygen to grow, however, if they receive oxygen concentrations reach those found in air (20%), they are unable to grow. Hence they need the right amount of oxygen. The source http://mansfield.osu.edu/~sabedon/biol2020.htm
What factor in addition to oxygen might influence the growth of different types of bacteria?
It depends--there are both aerobic (oxygen-dependent or oxygen-tolerating) and anaerobic (oxygen-intolerant) bacteria. Anaerobic bacteria often cannot live in the presence of oxygen, while increasing oxygen levels for aerobic bacteria can often stimulate population growth.
What kind of bacterium reqires oxygen?
Aerobic bacteria require oxygen.
Does chicken broth help a plant grow fast?
Chicken broth is not very good for plants. Bacteria will grow and feed on the broth and remove oxygen from the soil, which the plants need.
What is the term that describes bacteria that need air to grow?
OxyphotobacteriaAnoxyphotobacteria is the term that describes bacteria that don't need air to grow
What are bacteria that cannot live without oxygen called?
Bacteria that must have oxygen to survive are called obligate aerobes. Some bacteria can live with or without oxygen and are called facultative anaerobes.Anaerobes = No oxygenAerobes = Oxygen
Do plant cells need oxygen or do they use oxygen?
no i dont think so they make oxygen so i dont think they need it
