Bacterial reproduction is measured in terms of generation time or doubling time. This is the time taken by a single Cell to double. For E.coli, the generation time is 40 min; for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, it takes 2 days.
yes your cells are taking in nutrients, secreting and sorting chemicals, and breaking down substances 24 hours every day
Protist, I just spent 3 hours looking it up, believe me.
On an absolute scale, there are two reasons:Bacteria reproduce extremely quickly - new generations are formed within hours, even minutes of the previous.Bacteria live in a highly hostile environment. Only those which can adapt quickest can survive the majority of circumstances.
Many single-celled organisms reproduce the same way as an amoeba. In fact, most of them do. Bacteria can reproduce into over 200 other bacteria in 3 hours if the environment around them is appropriate.
The general answer is both. All types of bacteria (including bacilli) usually reproduce by simply dividing in two. This is called binary fission and it is a form of asexually reproduction. If conditions are just right, just one bacterium could become a billion (1,000,000,000) bacteria in just 10 hours through binary fission.But sometimes bacteria do have a form of sex called conjugation. One bacterium reaches out to another using a thread-like structure called a pilus. The first bacterium transfers part of its DNA to the other bacterium through the pilus. This is a form of sexually reproduction.
About 7 to 9 hours.
I hope you never reproduce...
no.
Bacteria can reproduce extremely quickly if in the right environment. Under favorable conditions, a single bacteria can reproduce 108 bacteria in twelve hours.
Depends on the first cell
No. Only for a few hours.
Microorganisms can produce faster in a favorable environment where certain conditions are met. For example, in a natural habitat microorganisms can reproduce in 20 minutes. In a laboratory, a single microorganism can reproduce to create more than 100 bacteria in 12 hours.
Most bacteria reproduce very rapidly
The gestation period of a jellyfish is 7.34 seconds100000000000 years!
Yes it can go longer
