Which of the following groups of organisms reproduce faster? |
| A. | Algae |
| B. | Fungi |
| C. | Bacteria |
| D. | Protozoa |
| Answer» C. Bacteria | |
|
Explanation: Unlike in multicellular organisms, increases in cell size (cell growth and reproduction by cell division) are tightly linked in unicellular organisms. Bacteria grow to a fixed size and then reproduce through binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction. Under optimal conditions, bacteria can grow and divide extremely rapidly, and bacterial populations can double as quickly as every 9.8 minutes. |
