  1. They are part of the Life Cycle and fall into the category of Biotic components. These are unique, unlike Abiotic they produce heat/energy at each stage.

    Biotic components

    1. producers=plants=heat

    2.consumers=herbivores,carnivores=heat

    3.decomposers=fungi,bacteria=heat and nutrients

    Abiotic components

    A. nutrient cycle

    1.gases,water,minerals=no heat

    This is a biospheric Elegant system


  2. I will add a few details to Gabriel G. 's good answer.  Bacteria occupy every ecological niche imaginable.  There are bacteria in the soil and the seas that fix nitrogen, ultimately affecting nitrogen compounds in the atmosphere.  Others break down organic matter aerobically to produce CO2.  Others are anaerobic producing a range of small organic molecules including CH4. On the other side of the equation, so bacteria species, such as blue green algae, are capable of photosynthesis and thus remove CO2.  One practical method for reducing global warming is to fertilize algae growth and then sequester the algae to prevent decomposition to CO2.  The populations of each type of bacteria depend on environmental conditions, so bacteria can either contribute to, or reduce global warming.

  3. No, Just pollution and dangerous air gas.

  4. It doesnt

  5. Doctors could put living bacteria on the endangered species list. Bacteria has a right to live too.

  6. I guess Gabriel G and a couple people are the only ones answering this question that have bothered to use any biology in backing their statements. It sounds like everyone else is just assuming that since they can't see it, it doesn't exist. Gabriel is right, these organisms are called chemoautotrophs(not that anyone here will ever take the time to look this up and try to improve themselves). Cyanobacter is one organanism responsible for carbon fixation. These organisms take over after photosynthesis has completed its cycle. They break carbon compounds down to more simple and easily used compounds or molecules. This is one reason why we compost. Stick your hand into mulch or compost and it feels warm. This is a result of these type microbes at work. This is also the reason why barns with hay bales in them catch on fire unsuspectingly. I recommend doing some research before assuming things and making uneducated statements. The Krebs cycle would be a good place to start.

  7. Global Warming is a lie so there is nothing that will make it true.

  8. the same way eggs shells do.

    Ask AL GORE.

    And while you're at it... ask him why it is that China had the coldest winter ON RECORD, and China's records go back thousands and thousands of years.

  9. bacteria feeds on feccal metters which is good but in the process it release carbondioxide in to the atmosphere which increase the co2 concentration in the atmosphere which helps in to increase global warming.

  10. I think bacteria is a result of global warming. Since the overall climate is warmer due to global warming and since bacteria grows faster in warmer climates, it would be logical that bacteria will grow faster in global warming situations.

  11. Climate change is a money and power grab scheme by the bottom feeder politicians and power brokers. It's nothing to do with ecology and everything to do with money.

    Con artists like Gore have enriched themselves on this issue, taking home Oscars, Nobel Prizes and millions of dollars. Meanwhile, evangelical leaders are setting up their flocks for extreme fleecing by leftist politicos like Barack Obama, who will appeal for Christian votes by talking in glowing, biblical-sounding terms about "being good stewards of God's creation."

    Here is truth about global warming:

    Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling.

    The earth's mean temperature cycles around the freezing point of water.

    This is a completely natural phenomenon which has been going on since

    there has been water on this planet. It is driven by the sun.

    Our planet is currently emerging from a 'mini ice age', so is

    becoming warmer and may return to the point at which Greenland is again usable as farmland (as it has been in recorded history).

    As the polar ice caps decrease, the amount of fresh water mixing with oceanic water will slow and perhaps stop the thermohaline cycle (the oceanic heat 'conveyor' which, among other things, keeps the U.S. east coast warm).

    When this cycle slows/stops, the planet will cool again and begin to enter another ice age.

    It's been happening for millions of years.

    The worrisome and brutal predictions of drastic climate effects are based on computer models, NOT CLIMATE HISTORY.

    As you probably know, computer models are not the most reliable of sources, especially when used to 'predict' chaotic systems such as weather.

    Global warming/cooling, AKA 'climate change':

    Humans did not cause it.

    Humans cannot stop it.

  12. well from the cause of gas, pollution, and toxic waste, that will resolve around the ocean, where some bacteria are already accumulating from swamps and some parks.

    Bacteria will form and from the carbon dioxide, it'll make the ocean water green and poisonous and very, very acidic and the sky will turn reddish orange from the break of gravitational balance of the o-zone layers, so the weather will be different of raining acid that will cause your skin to have an unknown type of cancer right away.

    Then all nature will die or deform into something very eye soring, and very horrible to plants animals, and bacterial substances.... earth will be a new customs which is an "alien world" and human species cannot survive this conditons because air will be filled with carbon dioxide and it'll be very HOT  from the acidic ocean water, or the acidic rain.

    This is a theory of the bacteria that might affect global warming world wide.

  13. Bacteria creates methane and carbon dioxide as a by product after digesting dead organic matter both of which contribute to global warming.
