Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria can live in hotter and colder temperatures than humans, but they do best in a warm, moist, protein-rich environment that is pH neutral or slightly acidic. There are exceptions, however. Some bacteria thrive in extreme heat or cold, while others can survive under highly acidic or extremely salty conditions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water is essential for all living organisms. It functions as a solvent, a temperature buffer and a metabolite in living cells. Unlike animals, plants and microorganisms rely largely on their immediate surroundings for water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria grow and reproduces via binary fission, which involves the process of the parent organism growing and dividing into doubles into a new individual. The parent cell also shares identical DNA with the daughter cell after the elongation process. They consume nutrition and develop to reproduce.
