As a bacterium approaches a food source, it detects chemical signals released by the nutrients through a process called chemotaxis. This triggers movement toward the food source, often involving changes in flagellar rotation to swim in the direction of higher nutrient concentrations. Once it reaches the food, the bacterium may begin to secrete enzymes to break down the nutrients for absorption and energy. This behavior enhances its survival and growth in nutrient-rich environments.

What is an example of a heterotroph in kingdom monera?
A heterotroph is organism requiring organic compounds for its principal source of food. Bacteria belongs to kingdom monera.
What type of bacterium uses light energy to make food?
The type of bacterium that uses light energy to make food is called a phototrophic bacterium. These bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, perform photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy to produce organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water. They contain pigments like chlorophyll or bacteriochlorophyll that capture light energy, enabling them to thrive in various environments, including aquatic ecosystems.
Can an aerobic bacterium be chemosynthetic?
Yes. Aerobic and anaerobic deal with how the organism converts its food into useful energy. Chemosynthetic deals with how the organism gets the food to begin with. Thus, the bacterium can make the food chemosynthetically and then convert it to useable energy aerobically. If you're using this for Biology 1 or 2.. Shame on you! You're cheating!
What is the food source of the plant?

What is Clostridium perfringes?

Can bacterium digest their food?
No
Do bacterium digest its food?
no
What happens to an animal when it loses its food source?
If an animal loses their food source, in the wild, they will try to find a sustainable source to have food to survive. If they cannot find a worthy source of food/water, they starve or become dehydrated and pass away.
Does bacterium digest its own food?
no
Does bacterium digest its food?

What happens if a red headed wood peckers food source disappeared?
they get extinct
What happens if ferret eat cat food?
A ferret can eat cat food, but not as a main source. They should be eating food made especially for ferrets only. A high quality kitten food can be a second source of food for ferrets.
Where is cholera found?

Can bacterium produce their own food?
a few can, most cant
Does bacterium make its own food?
Yes it can. It depends on the type.
What happens if you hatch a lady bug in captivity?
Once it hatches it will require a food source....aphids are a staple.
What happens if there is too little of rain?
plants and crops would dry up and we wouldn't have a food source
