True or false? Bacteria are unicellular. This means that when they divide by binary fission they're also reproducing as each new cell is a separate organism.
True
False
|
When bacteria divide by binary fission, is it an example of asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction
|
Which two things must a bacterial cell do before it can divide?
Photosynthesis
Differentiate
Grow
Replicate its genetic material
|
Once a bacterial cell has grown and replicated its genetic material, it is ready to divide by binary fission.
Describe the stages of this process.
|
During binary fission, are the plasmids always split equally between the two new cells?
Yes
No
|
What is the mean division time?
|
A type of bacteria have a division time of 20 minutes. If the population starts with just one cell, how many bacteria cells would be there after 1h?
|
Which three conditions do bacteria require for fast growth?
Warm
Moist
Cold
Plenty of nutrients
Dry
|
A type of bacteria have a division time of 30 minutes. If the population starts with 100 cells, how many bacteria cells would be there after 4h?
