Certain bacteria produce a chemical that makes them resistant to penicillin since these bacteria reproduce asexually they usually produce offspring that?
survive exposure to penicillin
Why are bacteria able to produce large number in such a short period of time?
Bacteria use binary fission( splitting into two identical bacteria) to reproduce, They do this at such a high rate and short time that can grow in number very fast. They reproduce so quickly so they can survive because if they did not have the numbers they had they would be killed much more quickly.
What is the fitness of an organism?
The ability to survive and reproduce
Why is it important that bacteria reproduces itself?
The aim of all living things is to reproduce - it is how the species survives. Benefits of bacteria reproducing asexually include; no need to find another bacteria to reproduce with, rapid reproduction and it saves energy.
Does all bacteria need dryness and coolness to reproduce?
Absolutely no! As a general rule, Gram-neg bacteria need more water than Gram-pos bacteria (~97% water activity is an absolute minimum for almost all Gram-negs) as Gram-pos bacteria are typically more tolerant to high salt/sugar conditions and desiccation, so can generally cope with less water...but all bacterial vegetative cells need at least 90-93% water content to survive, let alone reproduce. Bacterial spores are a different circumstance and can survive desiccation - however, spores cannot reproduce without converting back to vegetative cells first. As for 'coolness', bacteria are incredible entities that can inhabit pretty much any environmental niche on the planet ranging from polar ice caps to the hottest thermal vents. It depends on the bacterium which niche they can survive and reproduce in i.e. some bacteria love growing and multiplying at 4oC (think bacteria that commonly spoil milk), others at 110oC. If you're interested in learning more about this topic, you might benefit from reading some first-year microbiology textbooks.
How do bacteria reproduce and survive?
They can survive in very unfavorable condition where other organisms cannot exsist
Do bacteria need a host to reproduce?
Nope - they can reproduce all by themselves - by dividing.
What functions do all cells need to do to survive?
reproduce.
How do copepods reproduce?
Copepods reproduce by spawning, like most aquatic animals. They do not need much light to reproduce, but need plenty algae to survive.
Why do we need to feed bacteria to grow them in large numbers?
Everything else needs food to grow and reproduce. Bacteria are the same. If we only have a few and need to ID them, we have to have them reproduce to have enough in our sample.

survive exposure to penicillin
Why do bacteria need water to grow?
Most bacteria does not need water to survive.
How bacteria survives?
It need warmth to survive.
Does bacteria need dryness and coolnes to reproduce?
yes use sanitizer

What is bacteria that grow and reproduce?
All bacteria grow and reproduce
Why do cells need energy oxygen and food?
So they can survive, And reproduce
