The process where nitrogen - fixing bacteria take in nitrogen from the air and change it to a form that plants can use is called
What is nitrogen fixation
100
The process by which a single cell bacteria reproduces
What is Binary fission
200
These bacteria are long and spiral shaped. They use flagella at both ends to move like a corkscrew.
What is Spirilla
200
A bacteria in a thick protective coat. Many can survive in hot, cold and very dry places. When conditions improve, they break open and become active.
What is Endospore
200
An organism from which a parasite takes food or shelter
What is host
200
Using microorganisms to change harmful chemicals into harmless ones is called
What is Bioremediation
200
The step in binary fission where the DNA is copied and attached to the cell membrane
What is Step 2
300
These bacteria are rod shaped. They have a large surface are, which helps them take in nutrients. A large surface area can cause them to dry out easily
