What causes ingestion of bacteria: Special bacterial recognition surface receptors on the cell's plasma membrane recognize the bacteria as bacteria and thus food.
How these cause it to ingest the bacteria: These receptors cause signalling within the cell to occur. The signal is passed down through ATP-activated signalling proteins specialized for ingestion until it reaches the nucleus. In the nucleus, the signal is given to code for the "ingestion" action. It is coded onto mRNA which codes for cell-wide signalling. These signals reach all the organelles, which then work as one unit to engulf the bacteria with the plasma membrane.

In bacterium when does cell division take place?
Bacteria divide bybinary fission since they are classified as prokaryotes. Binary fission is a form ofasexual reproduction where identical bacteria is formed from another previously existing one.
Why is it necessary for bacteria to be able to withstand fluctuations in temperature within the human body?
A bacterium's cell membrane allows it to withstand fluctuations in temperature within the human body. This is necessary in order for the bacterium to survive in that environment.
A typical bacterium cell can be described as?
B: a cell wall surrounding a plasma membrane filled with ctoplasm with circular DNA and inclusions, but no membrane bound organelles.
What is unicelluar organism?
"Uni" means "one", so a unicellular organism is an organism consisting of only one cell, such as a bacterium, protozoan, etc.
In addition to a cell membrane what other cell boundary might a cell have?
Cell wall if it's a plant cell.
Does a bacterium have a cell wall?
A bacterium has a cell membrane, not a cell wall.
How many hours will it take to get more than 100 cell from a single bacterium cell?
7 hours
What is the process that a bacterium uses to take in genetic information from another cell?
conjugation
Which of these are prokaryotic - liver cell muscle cell plant cell paramecium bacterium?
Bacterium is a prokariyote.Others are eukariyotic cells.
Does Bacterium have a Eukaryotic cell or a Prokaryotic cell?
Bacterium has prokaryotic cells- cells that have no membrane-bounded organells.
What does a animal cell have that the bacterium cell doesn't have?
lione
Is bacterium present in a cell membrane?
No.
What level of organization is bacterium in?
cell
What the cell structure separates a eukaryotic cell from its environment?
A bacterium is separated from its surrounding environment by its cell wall. It is a structure which provides protection and structural integrity to the bacterium.
What cell organelle is present in both a bacterium and a plant cell but not a animal cell?
Cell Wall
What cell organelle is present in both a bacterium and a plant cell but not an animal cell?
Cell Wall
Which cell organelle is present in both a bacterium and a plant cell but not in an animal cell?
cellulose
