What kingdom do viruses and bacteria belong to?
Viruses are prokaryotes and not Eukaryotes. Therefore they are not alive. Since it is not considered to be alive they do not belong in the 5 kingdom classification; Monera, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia, Protista.
Bacteria are living once celled organisms and belong to either bacteria or Archaea.
*Viruses not considered alive because they need a host to be able to reproduce. They cannot reproduce on their own.
What is the importance of Capsule forming bacteria?
Certain bacteria that cause pneumonia, notably Klebsiella pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneumoniae, exist as both an encapsulated and unencapsulated form. The encapsulated form of these bacteria are protected by a polysaccharide (short chain carbohydrate) capsule, which shields the bacteria from the host's immunilogical response, and confers virulence, or the ability to cause disease, to the encapsulated strains of these bacteria.
Is bacteria a primary consumer?
Bacteria are considered decomposers, as they break down organic matter. Primary consumers are organisms that feed directly on producers (plants) in a food chain. Thus, bacteria are not considered primary consumers in ecological terms.
Why things like leather bags and shoes gets spoiled during rainy season?
It is just that the humidity, moisture, and temperature are just right for growing bacteria or mold.
What evidence from graph 1 suggests that there were still some live bacteria in the milk on day 5?
Since we can't see the graph, we can't help you.
Is bacteria a asexual organism?
Yes, bacteria are asexual organisms because they reproduce through binary fission, where a single bacterium divides into two identical daughter cells. Bacteria do not undergo sexual reproduction involving the fusion of gametes from different individuals.
Where would one find staph infection photos?
You can find staph infection photos in a few places. You can find them online on a medical website. You can also find them in medical books or journals. Your doctor would have a good idea on where to find these kinds of photos.

How can drug resistance in bacteria be harmful to humans?
Drug resistance in bacteria can be harmful to humans because it can result in less effective treatments for infections. Higher doses may be needed to treat infections, and so treatment may have more risks. In some cases, antibiotics may no longer be effective at all.
What bacteria does gentamicin kill?
Gentamicin is effective against a variety of Gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. It is also active against some Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. However, resistance to gentamicin is becoming more common among certain bacterial strains.
Why is it necessary to use a solid agar medium to obtain a pure culture of S. epidermidis?
It is not a rule that it is done always this way. However, the sample you take is from the skin and it is going to be mixed with many other bacteria types. Using an agar plate and proper techniques, you can easily separate it from the others.

What is the Difference between a Sperm Cell and a Bacterium?
Sperm Cells are gametes or sex cells. They only have 23 chromosomes in humans & are 1 of 2 gametes that when joined form a zygote, a fertilized oocyte. They are used to reproduce. Sperm are not alive & only become living when 1 fertilizes an egg. Bacteria are living organisms that reproduce through binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction. Bacteria can live for weeks in contrast Sperm become useless with in a few minutes. The primary function of Bacteria is to reproduce, while the primary function of Sperm is to fertilize an ovum, & carry out the task of reproducing for the organism from which it originated.
Is a bacterium multi-cellular or unicellular?
unicellular, however sometimes they are associated in groups or long strings.
Why is it important to follow the gram staining procedure?
This is simply important in order to have accurate staining results. If this is not followed, the process of the staining will result to false positives or false negatives.
Why is MRSA causing problems in many hospitals?
MRSA is such a hazard because of its resistance to antibiotics. The use of antibiotics in a hospital setting is so pervasive that the bacteria which can survive in that type of environment are resistant to the most common antibiotic medications. Once a patient becomes infected with MRSA, it is very difficult to treat, usually requiring lab studies and lengthy expensive antibiotic therapy or even removal of the infected tissue. The bacteria is almost impossible to eliminate completely from a clinical environment.
How many bacteria can fit into the period at the end of sentence?
Many bacteria are about 1 micrometer in diameter. Hundreds of thousands of bacteria can fit into a space the size of the period at the end of a sentence.
