What are the 3 difference between Active and Inactive bacteria?

Active bacteria are metabolically active and capable of growth and replication, while inactive bacteria are dormant and not actively growing. Active bacteria are more susceptible to antibiotics and disinfectants, while inactive bacteria are more resistant. Active bacteria can cause infections and illnesses, while inactive bacteria do not pose an immediate health risk.


Which organism has the most complex cell wall?

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis, has a complex cell wall that includes unique lipids and high levels of mycolic acids, making it one of the most complex cell walls among bacteria.


Why are bacteria often used in biological studies?

They are less complex and their genomes are easily manipulated. The plasmids in bacteria provide an oppertunity for simple genetic recombination exercises. Bacteria can be easily made to be lab dependent so that if an accidental release occured there would be no contamination because the bacteria can not live outside the lab environment.


Are all living things complex?

No, not all living things are complex. Some living organisms, like bacteria and single-celled organisms, are relatively simple in structure and function compared to more complex organisms like plants and animals. Complexity in living things can vary greatly depending on the species and their evolutionary history.


What is difference between bacteria fungi and actinomycetes?

Very simple...actinomycetes lies between bacteria and fungi. It was first considered to be fungi by looking the morphological features like hyphae, spore formation etc. But then when they looked into the DNA, the GC content of actinomycetes was less than that of fungi and was slightly more than that of bacteria. So actinomycetes were called as filamentous gram positive bacteria.

Some bacteria are metabolically active in hot springs because?

Some bacteria are metabolically active in hot springs because they have adapted to survive and thrive in extreme temperatures. These bacteria have enzymes and metabolic pathways that are stable at high temperatures, allowing them to carry out processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis even in these harsh conditions.


How are organisims are classified from simple to complex?

Organisms are classified as simple if they only have one cell such as bacteria, and complex organisms have multiple cells that function together to keep the organism alive and maintai homeostasis.


Does bacteria have fur?

No, bacteria do not have fur. Bacteria are single-celled microorganisms that do not possess complex structures like fur. They are microscopic and have a simple cell structure without any external features like fur.
