Question

Were the bacteria which infected Addie on the playground alive? Explain your reasoning,

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Bacteria are the simplest of creatures that are considered alive. Bacteria are everywhere. They are in the bread you eat, the soil that plants grow in, and even inside of you. They are very simple cells that fall under the heading prokaryotic. You don't usually get infected by dead bacteria, because  They get recycled. Unlike larger organisms, when single-celled organisms die, they usually undergo a process called lysis, in which the cell membrane disintegrates.
