1 A unit-quantity of electricity used as a measure of the amount of electrical charge that may be obtained from a storage battery before it requires recharging. 2  Ampere-Hour Capacity -- The number of ampere-hours which can be delivered by a storage battery on a single discharge.
A: Bacteria obtain energy by either ingesting other organisms and organic compounds or by producing their own food. The bacteria that produce their own food are called autotrophs. Bacteria that must consume other organic molecules for energy are called heterotrophs.
1 Bacteria known as decomposers break down wastes and dead organisms into smaller molecules to get the energy they need to survive. 2  Photosynthetic bacteria use the energy of the sun, together with carbon dioxide, to make their own food.exual reproduction does not occur in bacteria. But not all new bacteria are clones. This is because bacteria can still combine and exchange DNA. This exchange occurs in three different ways: 1  Conjugation: In conjugation, DNA passes through an extension on the surface of one bacterium and travels to another bacterium.
