Bacteria+-+DR

=Introduction= toc

In four to 20 minutes bacteria can double that means that in 3 to 4 hours you can have thousand or even millions. You're probably wondering, won't I drop dead if I have that many? Well your immune system will help your body out.The faster the bacteria reproduces, the faster the immune system will eat up the bacteria. But to reproduce they will need energy. They have two ways to get there food. But wait there is still something they need to reproduce and to get there nutrients. Do those two things they need special features? They need a structure that will help them reproduce and get food.

=Reproduction=

Binary fission is the meaning of bacteria reproducing. It's pretty simple actually. What happens in the process repeats many times. What that mean is that bacteria just doubles up and that's how it reproduces.Well there's still more. What is really cool about how they reproduce is that they don't need two bacterial cells they only need 1. So what happens is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two (replicates). Then those two divides into two and those four divide into two and it just keeps repeating. And in ten minutes there can be about 30 and that means in a day there could be more than a million. The consequence of all those cells is that they can make you sick.On the other hand,  your immune system fights all the bacteria cells off.



=Structure=

Bacteria cells have different features. The structure on their body helps them do the things they do. It's sounds complicated but it's actually pretty simple.For example, in the back of the bacterial cell there is a whip like structure called the Bacterial flagellum that helps the cell move. Another special feature of the bacterial cell is a hair like hollow structure called the pili. What the pilli does is that it allows the bacteria cell to stick onto other cells.All these are examples of special features or structure.

=How Do Bacteria Get Nutrients for Energy?=

Bacteria has two ways of getting their food. One of the ways they get there food is by ingesting other organs and organic compound. Too sum it up, they eat things inside of the body that have nutrients.The second way the bacterial cell eats it's nutrients is by making it's own food.Plant cells also makes its own food.But bacteria needs something to make it's food.They need energy, so if they need energy they need nutrients. Autotrophs is the kind of bacterial cell that makes it's own food.

=Conclusion=

Throughout this project i came to learn a lot about bacteria and its characteristic and also how to identify it. Also this project has showed me that not all bacteria is bad. Bacteria helps you in different ways.But sometimes people don't give credit to bacteria for the good things they do almost like an invisible army. But sometimes it does make you sick. Bacteria is all around you. On the the floor in the air on your food and inside your body.You would be able too function without the bacteria. Although it's not all good you need it too do a lot of things. So next time you're sick and say This is the bacteria cells fault just think of the good things the bacteria cell does for you.
