Bacteria <strong>Kingdoms</strong><br />

Archaebacteria and Eubacteria<br />

• Type <strong>of</strong> Reproduction:<br />

• Asexually: Bacteria reproduce by splitting themselves in half in a<br />

process called BINARY FISSION.<br />

• During this process, one cell splits into two identical cells, which<br />

are sometimes called CLONES. Over time, these dividing<br />

bacterium cells <strong>of</strong>ten group together in colonies.<br />

• Bacteria multiply quickly. In fact, one cell can replicate into over<br />

a million cells in just 12 hours. In contrast, a human cell takes<br />

24 hours to split.
