It would take 5 hours to get over 1000.

Does bacterium mean death?
No a bacterium (plural bacteria) does not cause death, some can, but the majority of bacteria allow you to live, you have countless bacteria in your intestines and mouth (plaque) and every surface, unless sterilized, most like has some bacteria in it. Fun fact, if you look on a yogurt label the ingredients should have "live cultures" listed somewhere and those are bacteria that can help regulate your digestive tract.
Every living thing comes from another cell that....?

Why do germs grow better in heat?
When people refer to bacteria growth it is actually about the amount of bacterium in a colony rather than the actual size of an individual bacterium increasing. Bacterium reproduce asexually through binary fission. This is when they basically just make a copy of their chromosome and then split. They reproduce sexually through conjunction. This is when they attach to one another using their pili, which are short hairlike structures on the outside of the cell. Through the pili they transfer a copy of a portion of their DNA. They then take on traits of the other cell. This helps to explain how bacterium can pass on drug resistance to one another.Bacteria is every were and you can get sick if you don't dust daily.Read more: How_does_bacteria_grow
What best describes a bacterium?
A bacterium is best described as an unicellular prokaryote.
How did the bad E. coli develop?
a long-ago cell appears to have been infected with a bacterial virus. This particular virus had the ability to insert its own DNA into the bacteria's chromosome without harming the bacterium - and to remain there. Now, every time this bacterial cell divided, the virus DNA, being now a part of the bacterial DNA, was passed on to every daughter cell
How does a certain bacterium divide every 30 min to get 1000 bacteria?
It will take you 5 hours to get over 1,000 dats what i know
If your bacteria reproduce every 20 minutes how many bacteria would you have at the end of twenty four hours assuming that you begin with one bacterium?
64x10^18 power or 64,000,000,000,000,000,000. 64 exa bacterium)
How many bacteria do you have from a single bacterium after 24 hours if it reproduces every hour?
You will have 16,777,216 bacteria after 24 hours if it reproduces once.
Bacteria split at what rate?
Bacterium undergo a process called binary fission, where a bacteria cell grows in size to copy its DNA and split into two identical cells. Bacterium split into two seperate bacteria cells every minute.
If a bacterium divides every 30 minutes producing two bacteria how many bacteria would a single colony contain after 24 hours if it began as a single bacterium?
I would say 2,361,183,241,434,822,606,848 based on: every 20 minutes for 24 hours = 72 times "doubling" after the initial doubling of 1 to 2, that leaves 71 more times, so the equation should be 271 = 2,361,183,241,434,822,606,848 ~= 2.36118324 × 1021

If one bacterium divides once every 20 minutes how many would there be after six hours?
After six hours, and assuming they all survive dividing, you would have 232144
If there was one bacteria on a piece of meat left in a nice warm place for five hours how many would be present at the end of this time?
Bacteria breed at different rates.The answer to your question would depend on what the bacterium was. IF we could assume that it is a bacteria that doubles every 20 minutes under these particular conditions, 1 bacterium would turn into 214 or 16384 bacteria. Again, realize that growth rates will vary and, when it comes to food, you almost never start out with only one bacterium.
How can bacteria reproduce in the digestive system?
A small number of bacteria on meat Can cause food poisoning.These bacteria enter the body and reproduce by dividing in the same way as cells in the body. Each bacteria also known as bacterium, can divide into two every 20 minutes.
Do bacteria cells contain cytoplasm?
No, a bacterium is a single cell. Bacteria are single celled prokaryotes with a cell wall, cell membrane, diffuse genetic material and no membrane bound organelles. Some bacteria, if you consider blue-green algae to be bacteria, occasionally form multi-cellular structures such as plaques, filaments and nodules.
If one bacterium divides once every 20 minutes how many would there be after 1 hours?
8 After 20 mins. 1 bacterium splits into 2, and after 40 mins those two split, making 4, and then those 4 split on the hour, doubling their numbers, giving 8 :D hope this helped
A certain bacteria doubles its population every 3 minutes how many bacteria will you end up with if you leave the single bacteria 24 hours?
Use a calculator! Hope that helps :)
