How do bacteria obtain water?

Answer 1

Bacteria do not take in food like humans or worms and any other eukaryote.

1. Some can make their own food through photosynthesis. This is an internal process.

2. Some are lithotrophs and fix carbon dioxide using minerals. Only bacteria are able to do this.

3. The last are organotrophs and these obtain their carbon from organic carbon.

Decomposers break down organic tissue without internal digestion.

In point 2 and 3, the substrate is used without internal digestion and the needed molecules diffuse into the cell.

Answer 2

Bacteria do not have a mouth. They make proteins called enzymes inside the cell and these travel thru the cell wall into the surrounding medium. The enzymes chop the food into tiny subunits which then come into the bacteria cell by osmosis or active transport. Active transport is the process by which the cell grabs a molecule of glucose or other food and pulls it in thru the cell wall. Many specialized proteins and other molecules made by the bacterium are involved in this active transport process. Perhaps someday you can figure out ways to study the mechanisms of active transport.

Answer 3

Bacteria live in water. Perhaps they are free swimming in a body of water or they life in the film of water between grains of the soil or they live in the watery fluid inside other living things.

Answer 4

Bacteria obtain water through various means such as osmosis, diffusion, or actively transporting water molecules across their cell membranes. They can also take up water from their environment through processes like endocytosis or by absorbing moisture through their cell walls.

Answer 5

By PINOCYTOSIS-means cell drinking.The cell,by endocytosis takes liquid particles inside the cell as small vesicles,and these vesicles are later dissolved in the cytosol.

Answer 6

Bacteria obtains water through diffusion of osmosis.

Answer 7

Yes, many foods have bacteria.
