How yogurt is made is it a chemical or biochemical reaction?

Yogurt is made through a biochemical reaction involving lactic acid bacteria fermenting milk sugars. The bacteria convert lactose into lactic acid, which thickens the milk and gives yogurt its tangy flavor. This process is driven by enzymes produced by the bacteria.


Which process uses bacteria to copy DNA?

Polymerase chain reaction


Is rust a bacteria?

No, rust is not a bacteria. Rust is a common name for iron oxide, a compound formed when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture or water. It is a chemical reaction, not a biological organism like bacteria.


What copies DNA quickly without using bacteria?

Polymerase chain reaction


How do scientists study how bacteria are affected by antibiotics?

Laboratory scientists culture a bacterium (one single bacteria) so the bacteria grows to a colony. Scientists create many specimens of colonies for each bacteria. Then they can expose each colony to a different antibiotic medication or new antibiotic to see how the bacteria react to it. They look for sensitivity--meaning, any reaction in the growth of the bacterial colony. The growth may have no change (no sensitivity), slow down, or stop. But even better, ingredients in antibiotics need to disrupt the way bacteria use nutrients, so scientists look to see if the bacteria die when exposed to that specific antibiotic.Different groups or families of antibiotics work best on certain bacteria. At the same time, certain bacteria favor conditions only in certain areas of the body. So the bacteria for a skin infection is different from the bacteria that infects the urinary tract, for example.

The major criteria used in placing bacteria into different groups is based on differences in?

The major criteria used in placing bacteria into different groups is based on differences in their cell wall structure, shape and arrangement, metabolism, and genetic composition. These characteristics help scientists classify bacteria into different taxonomic groups based on their shared traits and evolutionary relationships.

Can bacteria change nitrogen into oxygen?

No. Only a nuclear reaction can change oxygen into nitrogen, and bacteria are not capable of such reactions.

What antibody is produced in a reaction to an allergen?

The antibody is specific to the antigen (allergen). Different antibodies are produced at different times of exposure (IgM=acute; IgG=longterm) or in different systems of the body (IgA is produced in the gut).


Is poison ivy a bacteria?

No. It is a plant; a flowering vine which is toxic and causes a severe rash when it touches the skin. Bacteria are microscopic organisms, and they can cause problems too, but they are different from poison ivy.


Formation of curd from milk is which reaction?

Formation of curd in milk is called 'Fermentation'.Curd is formed when milk is pasteurised and fermented by a combination of lactic acid bacteria and a protease.

Can worms cause a fever in cats?

Yes they can, though not usually directly. Worms carry many sorts of bacteria, and it is the reaction to these bacteria that causes the fever.
