You will have 16,777,216 bacteria after 24 hours if it reproduces once.

The doubling time of a type of bacteria is 43 minutes. If every bacterium reproduces then after 43 minutes a population of 1024 bacteria will have grown approximately to what size?

If the doubling time is 43 minutes, after 43 minutes the population will double in size to 2048 bacteria. So with an initial population of 1024 bacteria, after 43 minutes it will double to 2048.


How does acinetobacter baumannii reproduce?

The acinetobacter baumannii bacteria reproduces quickly, this causes it to attack the internal organs of the amer's body. The bacteria reproduces million to trillion times faster than any other bacteria, it makes The organs effected as well, the organs break down and begin to swell, which makes it want to travel around the body and infect every immune system till' the amer break its breath and its no more! When the bacteria reproduces it goes around the body and touches all of the organs until the whole body isn't infected! :D


If a bacterium divides every 30 minutes producing two bacteria how many bacteria would a single colony contain after 24 hours if it began as a single bacterium?

I would say 2,361,183,241,434,822,606,848 based on: every 20 minutes for 24 hours = 72 times "doubling" after the initial doubling of 1 to 2, that leaves 71 more times, so the equation should be 271 = 2,361,183,241,434,822,606,848 ~= 2.36118324 × 1021


If your bacteria reproduce every 20 minutes how many bacteria would you have at the end of twenty four hours assuming that you begin with one bacterium?

64x10^18 power or 64,000,000,000,000,000,000. 64 exa bacterium)


Bacteria split at what rate?

Bacterium undergo a process called binary fission, where a bacteria cell grows in size to copy its DNA and split into two identical cells. Bacterium split into two seperate bacteria cells every minute.


If a certain bacterium divides every 30 min when will there be more than 1000 bacteria?

After 4 hours, as the bacterium doubles every 30 minutes, resulting in 8 divisions within this time frame. Starting with 1 bacterium, this will lead to 28 = 256 bacteria after 4 hours.


What specific type of bacteria reproduces through binary fission every hour. If there are three bacteria cells to begin with how many bacterial cells will there be in five hours?

32


Does bacterium mean death?

No a bacterium (plural bacteria) does not cause death, some can, but the majority of bacteria allow you to live, you have countless bacteria in your intestines and mouth (plaque) and every surface, unless sterilized, most like has some bacteria in it. Fun fact, if you look on a yogurt label the ingredients should have "live cultures" listed somewhere and those are bacteria that can help regulate your digestive tract.


How many times can a single bacteria reproduce in a single human life-time?

What do you mean by single? A bacteria reproduces by binary fission creating two identical offspring with a very low mutation rate. Is the left organism the original or the right? Bacteria have progeny and the amount of progeny is due to the availability of nutrients in the environment. One bacteria could give rise to many progeny that continue to give rise to other progeny. However, it has not been studied how many progeny a single bacteria could give rise to. Are they immortal? Do they die after 100 generations? Yeast replicate by budding and after every offspring a scar is left over. Once the yeast is covered in scars, it will die and not replicate. Bacteria are different and replicate, as mentioned before, by binary fission. To test this hypothesis is to follow one strand of DNA until the bacteria containing it dies. That stand is from the original organism and is technically the "god father" of all the progeny. This experiment seems practical, but has not been done.


How does a certain bacterium divide every 30 min to get 1000 bacteria?

The bacterium undergoes binary fission, where it duplicates its genetic material and divides into two daughter cells. This process repeats every 30 minutes, resulting in exponential growth. After 10 cycles (5 hours), one bacterium will have produced 1000 bacteria.


Do bacteria cells contain cytoplasm?

No, a bacterium is a single cell. Bacteria are single celled prokaryotes with a cell wall, cell membrane, diffuse genetic material and no membrane bound organelles. Some bacteria, if you consider blue-green algae to be bacteria, occasionally form multi-cellular structures such as plaques, filaments and nodules.


How many could a bacterium can become in 1 hour?

A single bacterium can divide approximately every 20 minutes under optimal conditions through a process called binary fission. In one hour, this means it could theoretically divide three times, resulting in 8 bacteria from a single one. However, this number can vary based on environmental factors such as nutrient availability and temperature.
