When cold temperature prohibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria?

There are a number of bacteria that DO survive in harsh environments be it pH or temperature extremes or an environment that is very salty. Bacteria that don't survive in harsh conditions usually lose cell wall integrity and break apart, or lose all their intercellular fluid and shrivel up.


How do bacteria show the characteristics of MRS GREN?

Bacteria show the characteristics of MRS GREN (Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion, and Nutrition) by exhibiting the ability to move using their flagella or other appendages, cellular respiration that allows them to utilize energy, sensitivity to stimuli in their environment, growth through cell division, reproduction either asexually or sexually, excretion of waste products, and obtaining nutrition from their surroundings through various mechanisms such as absorption, photosynthesis, or chemosynthesis.


Which life-making function is an important part of the growth cycle?

What is the function of a nucleoid?

Nucleoid is the genome of prokaryotes. it has all the genes needed for survival and growth of organism pilus, plural- pili are also called sex pili. they are involved in conjugation (transfer of genetic material from + bacteria to - bacteria) it is a form of reproduction


What Bacteria return nutrients to the environment by breaking down?

Bacteria use food like dead tissues for their own growth and reproduction and the rest becomes separate organic and inorganic chemicals that other organisms can use.
