What is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves?
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic radiation. Light, radio waves and X-rays are a few other examples of this radiation phenomenon. The Transfer process is the "flow" of particles from one location to another. The best visual example is the transfer of "heat" from one source to another.
What is a thermal conduction?
heat transfer from one molecule to another -apex

What is the transfer of heat by particles colliding with each other called?
That sounds like a description of heat conduction.
The transfer of heat from one thing to another by direct physical contact?
Conduction is the transfer of heat throgh solid objects in direct contact. The other two types of heat transfer are convection (through liquids and gases) and radiation (through gases and a vacuum).
What is it called when a bacterium uses a virus to transfer its DNA to other bacterium?
Transduction.
What is an organism other than a bacterium called?
one celled oganism

What is the difference between transfer and posting?
when an employee is ordered to join duties at other station, this is called transfer but when he reports for duties from other station is called posting.
What is transduction?
The transfer of viral and/or bacterial DNA to each other. bacteria transfers DNA with a bacteriophage
A short thick appendage that enables bacterium escherichia coil to attach to other surfaces is called?

When plasmids are used to transfer foreign DNA to other cells the plasmid is called?
When plasmids, are used to transfer foreign DNA to other cells the plasmid is called a
How do you transfer liquids from other container to another container?
Make or buy a funnel and transfer liquid.
Do bacilli reproduce sexually or asexually?
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.
How bacteria's grow?
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.
What transfer energy through motion?
Work the transfer of energy as the result of motion is called work. Motion is when one object's distance from another is changing.
What is the process called when a bee transfers seeds from one plant to the other?
Bees do not transfer seeds, they transfer pollen, and that process is called pollination.
