Both humans and bacteria need folic acid to grow. While folic acid can cross the membrane of a human cell and enter the cell, it cannot cross the cell wall of bacteria, according to Charles Ophardt, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of the Department of Chemistry at Elmhurst College in the "Virtual Chembook." Thus, bacteria have to make their own folic acid. They will then use the folic acid to make DNA, RNA and methionine. Methionine is an amino acid that is used to make various substances like cysteine, another amino acid, and S-adenosyl methionine, a substance used in many biochemical reactions.

What is bacteria that has the ability to create their own food?
Bacteria that have the ability to create their own food through photosynthesis are called phototrophic bacteria. They use sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds. Examples include cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae.
What bacteria does not make its own food?
Heterotrophic bacteria do not make their own food and instead rely on organic compounds from their environment for energy and growth. Examples include many disease-causing bacteria like Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Why do bacteria make their own food?
Some bacteria(not all) are autotrophic bacteria which means that they can make their own food.These bacteria can be separated into two groupsphotosynthetic bacteriachemosynthetic bacteriaphotosynthetic bacteria contains bacteriochlorophyll which is dispersed in their cytoplasm and so they are able to make their organic food by the process of photosynthesis.e.g green sulphur bacteria,purple sulphur bacteria etcchemosynthetic bacteria oxidize inorganic compounds like ammonia,nitrate,nitrite,sulphur or iron and trap the energy and prepare their food.e.g nitrifying bacteria are chemosynthetic.
Is Ebola a bacteria fungus or bacteriaor virus?
It is not. HIV is a virus. It has a completely different make-up from a bacteria. The most important difference between a bacteria and a virus is that a virus does not have the ability to replicate on its own. It needs a host, another cell, to reproduce, unlike bacteria which can reproduce on their own.
What are cells that make their own energy called?
Cells that make their own energy are called "autotrophic cells." These cells use processes like photosynthesis (in plants) or chemosynthesis (in bacteria) to produce their own energy.
Is there a subtitute for folic acid?
Folic Acid is entirely its own substance, and cannot be substituted for by anything other than itself. Many Obstetricians prescribe supplements which assist in pregnancy, such as Metafolin or Neevo but these are used in conjunction with folic acid supplements. * As a note: As with any medical advice, follow the recommendations of your doctor, this information was provided with the intention of helping to clarify generic questions and is not to be used as professional medical advice.*
Which bacteria cannot make its own food?
bacteria cannot make its own food because scientists think they arent alive

What are bacteria called when they can make there own food?
They are autotrophic
Do bacteria make their own food?
Yes and no. Some bacteria are autotrophs (make their own food with their environment around them and the sun's energy) and some are heterotrophs (can't make their own food so they eat autotrophs and other heterotrophs).
What types prenatal vitamins and suppliment does a baby need?
Folic acid, iron and calcium are important DURING PREGNANCY. Folic acid can reduce your risk of having a baby with a serious birth defect of the brain and spinal cord, called the 'neural tube. green leafy vegetables, nuts, beans, and citrus fruits. are some sources of folic acid Calcium during pregnancy can prevent a new mother from losing her own bone density, as the foetus uses the mineral for bone growth. Iron helps both the mother and baby's blood carry oxygen Hope this helps!!!!!!!!1
Does bacteria make there own food?
Some do some don't
Does bacteria cell contain another bacteria?
No, bacteria can not endocytosise another bacteria. bacteria contains cell wall, DNA called nucleoid and cytoplasm. Bacteria can make its own proteins by its ribosomes..No, they do not. They are not large enough for more bacteria inside.
What bacteria does not make its own food?
Heterotrophic bacteria do not make their own food and instead rely on organic compounds from their environment for energy and growth. Examples include many disease-causing bacteria like Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Bacteria and fungi do not make their own food Why?
Because they cannot photosynthesise.

How do autotrophic bacteria make food?
Some bacteria are autotrophs and make their own food. Autotrophic bacteria make food in one of two ways. Some capture and use the sun's energy as plants do. Others, such as bacteria that live deep in mud, do not use the sun's energy. Instead, these bacteria use the energy from chemicals substances in their environment to make their food.
