What is the difference between animals and bacteria?

!) Animals are multicellular and bacteria unicellular. 2) Animals are eukarotes whereas bacteria prokaryotes. 3) Bacteria can be autotrophs but anaimals are usually always heterotrophs. 4)Bacteria have cell wall and other coatings which animal cells lack 5) Bacteria lack membrane bound organelles which animals have. 6) Bacteria have ONE chromosome per cell whereas Animals can have more. 7) Bacteria divide by fission whereas Animal Cells divide by Mitosis and Meiosis.


Is a lichen a bacteria?

A lichen is not a bacterium. However, certain photosynthetic bacteria can become part of a lichen.Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic organism, usually a green alga but sometimes a cyanobacterium.


How did Anthrax originate?

Anthrax is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. It can be found in soil and can infect humans and animals through contact with contaminated animals or animal products. Outbreaks of anthrax have occurred throughout history, with the bacteria likely evolving alongside humans and animals.


Why its important to grow bacteria in lab?

Cultivation of bacteria is essential for the study of bacteria, usually in the development of vaccines for particular pathogens.

What is the genus of the nitrogen fixing bacteria that is common with leguminous plants?

The genus of nitrogen-fixing bacteria commonly associated with leguminous plants is Rhizobium. These bacteria form a symbiotic relationship with the plant roots, where they convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that the plants can use for growth and development.


Which organisms play the largest role in changing atmospheric nitrogen into a form that most living things can use?

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria are the organisms that play the largest role in converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form (ammonia) that most living things can use. These bacteria form symbiotic relationships with plants or live freely in the soil, where they perform nitrogen fixation.


Plants and animals which break down dead plants and animals?

usually fungi and bacteria.. theyre classified as "decomposers"
