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.

Some oral bacteria produce an extracellular capsule of what benefit is a capsule to these cells?
There are some oral bacteria that produce extracellular capsules. The benefits of these extracellular capsules to these cells is added protection to the cell.
Which organisms perform Fermentation?
Yeast cells and some types of bacteria make ethanol and carbon dioxide. Other types of bacteria produce lactic acid. Humans can also carry out fermentation in muscle cells when there is a lack of oxygen in the muscles. Hope this helps!
What are some forms of bacteria?
Ecoile and Natural Bacteria (Which form some natural springs)
List of things that reproduce asexually and sexually?
Some things which reproduce asexually:some kinds of worms (eg. earthworms) some kinds of snailSome kinds of insectsmushroomfungibacteria
At what tenperature is bacteria most active?
It really depends on the bacteria. Some multiply best at room temperature, some at 60 deg celcius. Bacteria has 4 phases in life. The lag, log/exponential, stationary or the death phase. Bacteria multiply best at its log phase. The log phase depends on the bacteria species.
How does bacteria benefit some mammals?
Digestion - and its all mammals.
What can bacteria be on?
Bacteria can be on everything especially things that are nasty cause it is like their home basically BUT some other bacteria are good they are in your body helping things out and basically helping around in your body :p
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.
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.
Some oral bacteria produce an extracellular capsule of what benefit is a capsule to these cells?
There are some oral bacteria that produce extracellular capsules. The benefits of these extracellular capsules to these cells is added protection to the cell.
What can prevent some bacterial disease by helping the body to learn to recognize certin harmful bacteria?
Antibiotics or vaccines. I think...
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 sentence for beneft?
One sentence using "benefit" is: "Regular exercise can provide numerous benefits for both physical and mental health."
Explain How the bacteria benefit the plant and How the plant benefits the bacteria?
Depends on the type of bacteria.some bacteria can cause the plant to rot while some can make the plants have better ability to absorb mineral salts.I'm so sorry but I do not know how the plant benefits the bacteria :)
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.
Do toxic chemicals help bacteria to grow?
The question is toxic to what. Not all chemicals which are toxic to humans are toxic to bacteria, and some chemicals which are toxic to bacteria are harmless to humans (which is why we can have antibiotics). There are chemicals (like Hydrogen Sulfide) which are very toxic to mammals that SOME bacteria eat as food. But there are other chemicals like chlorine which are toxic to both humans and bacteria. So the question does not have a simple answer.
