Question

which statements about bacteria can be supported by evidence? select all true statements that apply.
□ a bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics
□ bacteria are living organisms because they contain all of the \dogracer\ characteristics
□ bacteria can grow, respond, and reproduce
□ vaccines can be used to prevent bacterial diseases like pneumonia
□ the genetic material (dna or rna) is enclosed in a protein capsid
□ all bacteria are autotrophs , so they can make energy through photosynthesis

Explanation:

• Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics as they target bacterial cell - wall synthesis or other metabolic processes. Bacteria are living organisms with characteristics like growth, response, and reproduction. Vaccines can prevent some bacterial diseases by stimulating the immune system. Bacteria have genetic material (DNA), but it's not enclosed in a protein capsid like viruses, and not all bacteria are autotrophs; many are heterotrophs.

Answer:

A. A bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics
B. Bacteria are living organisms because they contain all of the "DOGRACER" characteristics
C. Bacteria can grow, respond, and reproduce
D. Vaccines can be used to prevent bacterial diseases like pneumonia
