Responding to changes in its environment
Explanation:
Light is an environmental factor and being able to sense and react to environmental changes is a function of life
Answer:
C. They can grow to larger populations more quickly
Explanation:
Bacteria are the <u>key entities</u> of <u>biogeochemical cycle</u>s (Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, etc.) on Earth. The strength of these cycles is typically achieved when they can multiply faster in a relatively <u>short time period</u>. If all bacteria on Earth start reproducing via sexual means only, then many of the biogeochemical cycles would take forever, thus <u>generating nutrients at a slower rate</u>. Since higher organisms (e.g. eukaryotes) depend on the abundant supply of nutrients, the overall life on Earth would be compromised to a larger extent in the absence of sufficient nutrients supply. Thus, it is <u>beneficial for all forms of life that bacteria reproduce mainly via asexual means</u>.
PS: A simple bacterium can produce millions of copies in 24 hours period.
