Bacteria Reproduction Flashcards
1
Q
Bacteria reproduces …
A
asexually
2
Q
binary fission:
A
dividing into two roughly equivalent daughter cells
3
Q
growth curve phases:
A
lag, log, stationary, death
4
Q
Lag:
A
cells get ready to synthesize components needed for growth
5
Q
Log:
A
rapid proliferation (exponential growth) generation time is required for the number of cells to double. LOGARITHMIC
6
Q
Stationary:
A
death and reproduction is balanced
7
Q
death:
A
cell growth is overtaken by death
8
Q
Bacterias habitat:
A
mostly saprophytic (decomposers), but some are pathogenic; as a group, they are found everywhere
