How many bacteria is there in 5 hours?
there are more than 10,000 bacterium in 5 hours
How do you change fractions into improper fraction?
Multiply them by a number larger than its reciprocal.Multiply them by a number larger than its reciprocal.Multiply them by a number larger than its reciprocal.Multiply them by a number larger than its reciprocal.
Is 1.45 larger than 1.8?
No because 1.8 is larger than 1.45
What decimal is larger 17.092 or 17.09?
17.092 is larger than 17.09.
A virus that reprduces in a bacterium is called a?
bacteriophage (literally, phage = eat, bacterio = bacteria)
What is the tail of a bacteriophage specialized for?
The tail of a bacteriophage is specialized for attaching to the host bacterial cell and injecting its genetic material into the cell. It helps the bacteriophage in recognizing and binding to specific receptors on the bacterial cell surface.
What is another term for bacterium?
If your are asking about the virus which feeds on bacteria then it is BACTERIOPHAGE
How many time larger is the giant amoeba than the smallest bacterium?
The largest amoeba is more than 2,500 times larger than the smallest bacterium.
A bacteriophage typically attaches to the bacterium and then?
injects its genetic material into the bacterium, taking over the bacterium's cellular machinery to replicate itself. Once the replication process is complete, the bacteriophage releases new viral particles, causing the bacterium to burst open and die.
What is a virus that reproduces in a bacterium called?
A virus that reproduces in a bacterium is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages infect and replicate within bacteria, ultimately causing the bacteria to burst open and release newly formed viruses.
The way that genetic material of a bacteriophage enters a bacterium is most like the way that?
a key unlocks a door. The genetic material of a bacteriophage enters a bacterium by attaching to the bacterial cell wall and injecting its DNA or RNA into the host cell, taking over the cell's machinery to replicate itself. Just like a key unlocks a door to gain entry, the bacteriophage's genetic material gains entry into the bacterium to begin infection.
The bacteriophage attaches to the bacterium's?
cell wall using its tail fibers and injects its genetic material into the bacterium. This genetic material then takes over the bacterium's machinery to replicate more phages.
What is a prophage-?
A prophage is a phage genome that is integrated into the DNA of a bacterial host and replicates along with the host's DNA. It remains dormant within the host cell until it is triggered to enter the lytic cycle, where it replicates and eventually lyses the host cell.
What virus infect bacteria?
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria. These viruses inject their genetic material into a bacterium, which then uses the bacterium's machinery to produce more phages. This eventually leads to the lysis of the bacterium and release of new phages to infect other bacteria.
What is a virus called that invades bacteria?
A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages are specific to infecting bacterial cells and can inject their genetic material into the host bacterium, leading to replication and eventual destruction of the bacterial cell.
What is the bacterium attacked by T2 phages?
T2 phages attack the bacterium Escherichia coli, commonly known as E. coli. These bacteriophages infect and replicate within this specific bacterial species.
