Why do bacteria have to grow before reproduction?

Most bacteria rely on binary fission for propagation. Conceptually this is a simple process; a cell just needs to grow to twice its starting size and then split in two. But, to remain viable and competitive, a bacterium must divide at the right time, in the right place, and must provide each offspring with a complete copy of its essential genetic material. Bacterial cell division is studied in many research laboratories throughout the world. These investigations are uncovering the genetic mechanisms that regulate and drive bacterial cell division. Understanding the mechanics of this process is of great interest because it may allow for the design of new chemicals or novel antibiotics that specifically target and interfere with cell division in bacteria.

. Clots the blood,<br> Red blood cells<br> White blood cells<br> Plasma<br> Platelets
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Platelets help the blood clotting process (or coagulation) by gathering at the site of an injury, sticking to the lining of the injured blood vessel, and forming a platform on which blood coagulation can occur. This results in the formation of a fibrin clot, which covers the wound and prevents blood from leaking out.

Explanation:

Blood is composed of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Blood platelets play a role in coagulation (the clotting of blood to stop bleed from an open wound); white blood cells play an important role in the immune system; red blood cells transport oxygen and carbon dioxide.

yeah that's all I can think of

When a plant produces sugars and transports them during translocation, which main plant tissues are at work?
Leviafan [203]
The answer to the question stated above is letter D. Vascular and Ground. Vascular tissue comprises the xylem and phloem tissues. Xylem tissue  transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant while phloem tissue  transports organic compounds (sugars and nutrients manufactured in the shoot) from the site of photosynthesis to other parts of the plant.
