What type of bacteria feeds on dead things?

Bacteria that feed on dead organisms are called decomposers. I will explain how it works with plants. When plants are eaten by an animal or have died there are called ammonium compounds. Then ammonium compounds are decomposed by bacteria called decomposers and turned into nitrites. Then they get nitrified by bacteria called nitriying bacteria and turned into nitrates. Then the nitrates are absorbed by the roots of plants and the cycle starts again. There is a cycle that includes this that might help. Its called the nitrogen cycle.


How does bacteria keep everything regulated?

Bacteria regulates the cycle of life, you could say. It's difficult to explain, but think of it this way. If people never died, and diseased did not exist, the world would be extremely overpopulated. Bacteria works in the same way.


Explain how the development of a red color on the addition of zinc is a negative test?

zinc reduces nitrates to nitrites. The development of red color therefore verifies that nitrates were not reduced to nitrites by the organism. If the nitrates were not reduced, a negative nitrate reduction reaction has occurred


Explain How the bacteria benefit the plant and How the plant benefits the bacteria?

Depends on the type of bacteria.some bacteria can cause the plant to rot while some can make the plants have better ability to absorb mineral salts.I'm so sorry but I do not know how the plant benefits the bacteria :)


Does bacteria grow regardless of environment?

No, bacteria must have certain things to survive such as food and a certain temperature, which would explain why boiling water purifies it of bacteria; most bacteria can't survive it. Also, bacteria can't grow in some deserts nor at the North and South poles; not enough food, awful temperatures. But...bacteria is very resourceful stuff, and you can find one species of it or another surviving *almost* anywhere.

Explain how the process of natural selection results in populations of bacteria that are not harmed by antibiotics?
