What does bacteria cause?

They can also be responsible for foodborne illnesses when consumed in contaminated food or water. Additionally, some bacteria can contribute to the decay of teeth and other dental problems.


How bacteria effects food?

Answer:We could not live without the protective bacteria on our bodies and in our bodies. We have over 50,000 bacteria per square inch on our skin and if you use a scrub brush to wash the skin, you can remove this protective bacteria and skin disease will follow. Our stomach used bacteria to digest food and without it, we would not survive. Human feces is approximately 67 percent undigested food and bacteria and these mentioned are useful bacteria. The bacteria we pick up from the pay phone or from the door handle in the local public restroom are harmful because they are foreign to our bodies and can make us sick. Other avenues or bad bacteria is from other human contact, such as shaking hands or a casual kiss. To keep these at bay, wash your hands often with an antibacterial soap to keep the bad bacteria from entering your body.Answer:Certain bacteria can harm humans by 1) while growing, they destroy tissue and 2) by releasing toxins that poison humans.


What use do humans have for bacteria?

Bacteria used in food production. Lactobacter is used with milk to make yoghurt or cheeses.Bacteria are used in the human gut to absorb vitamins, nutrients and to digest some carbohydrates that would otherwise not be digestible by humans.Bacteria are used in industry to clean up waste. Bacteria that can feed on herbicides or pesticides can clean up ground water. Bacteria that feed on oil can help clean up oil spills. For cleaning up industrial waste D. radiodurans can be used. The radioactivity cannot be destroyed by the radioactivity resistant bacteria, but they can 'eat' all chemical toxic solvents in which these radioactive wastes are often present.


A friend states that all bacteria are harmful to people list 3 reasons why this statement is inaccurate?

Many bacteria are beneficial and necessary for human health, such as those in the gut microbiome that help with digestion and immune function. Only a small percentage of bacteria are pathogenic and can cause harm to humans. Some bacteria are even used in the production of food and medicine and play a crucial role in various ecological processes.

What are three uses of bacteria in food production and other industries?

Although bacteria are often mistakenly associated only with disease, bacteria also have useful functions.1) Bacteria are part of chemical cycles during which they release essential elements such as carbon and nitrogen for recycling.2) Bacteria decompose dead and decaying organic matter, assist animal digestion of food, and produce chemicals such as ethyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, acetic acid, and acetone.3) Bacteria also aid in the production of food products such as cheese, butter, sauerkraut, coffee, wine, and cocoa. Bacteria can be an integral part of the manufacture of silk, cotton, and rubber. 4) Bacteria synthesize certain antibiotics. Bacteria that can digest and dissolve are used to clean up oil spills.

What are three reasons for fermenting food?

Raw foods often have bacteria on or in them, and cooking them destroys that bacteria, making the food safe to eat. Food just tastes better cooked. Cooking makes food more tender and easier to eat.
