To grow living bacteria, you can use a petri dish containing agar, a gelatinous substance that provides a nutrient-rich medium for bacterial growth. Inoculating loops or sterile swabs can be used to transfer bacteria onto the agar surface. The dish should be incubated at an appropriate temperature, typically around 37°C for many bacteria, to allow for growth. Additionally, an incubator may be utilized to maintain the optimal environment for bacterial proliferation.
True. That, among many other reasons, is why they are considered living.
Bacteria multiplies by binary fission, that is a single cell divides into two.
Only certain bacteria can grow on sugar (sucrose). In order for a bacteria to be able to grow on sugar a certain level of moisture must be present along with the ability to absorb sugar as a food/energy source.

Plants need nitrogen to grow. They are surrounded by nitrogen in the air, but it is not in a form the plants can use. Nitrogen fixing bacteria on the roots of the plant convert (fix) the airborne nitrogen to a form the plants can use to grow.
To grow many types of bacteria and various other microscopic living organisms.

Bacteria are usually grown in a shallow glass dish (a Petri dish, although you could use any dish) in a growth medium made of gelatin; you could use Jello. Viruses are trickier, they require living tissue of some sort. For an amateur, it's best to stick to bacteria.
The process in which soil bacteria convert nitrogen compounds in soil back into biomolecules used for energy by living things is called nitrogen fixation. During this process, certain bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use to grow. This process is essential for the cycling of nitrogen in ecosystems.
Plants, Animals, and Bacteria
The environment for which bacteria can grow must have the right environmental conditions. In addition, bacteria require nutrients such as nitrogen and minerals to use for metabolism
Oxygen acts as a final electron acceptor in the bacteria's energy-producing processes, such as respiration. This allows bacteria to generate more energy for growth and reproduction. Without oxygen, some bacteria may use alternative pathways or be unable to grow altogether.
