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)


How often does bacteria multiply in you minute?

Bacteria reproduces every 9.5 minutes . Ecoli reptoduces every 20 minutes. Bacteria multiplys many times in one minute due to asexual reproduction-binary fission.


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.


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.


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


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


How you do know that bacteria are alive?

Bacteria are alive as: 1-they have tails and they move about here and there. 2-They have an ability to reproduce them selves. 3-They multiply very fast______ a single bacterium breaks itself into two every half hour.


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

It will take you 5 hours to get over 1,000 dats what i know


If there was one bacteria on a piece of meat left in a nice warm place for five hours how many would be present at the end of this time?

Bacteria breed at different rates.The answer to your question would depend on what the bacterium was. IF we could assume that it is a bacteria that doubles every 20 minutes under these particular conditions, 1 bacterium would turn into 214 or 16384 bacteria. Again, realize that growth rates will vary and, when it comes to food, you almost never start out with only one bacterium.


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

It would take 5 hours to get over 1000.


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
