what specific type of asexual reproduction do bacteria perform?

Answer / Explanation:

Bacteria are Prokaryotic organisms.

Prokaryotic Organisms are : Unicellular that lack organelles or other internal membrane-bound structures. Therefore, they do not have a nucleus.

Asexually reproduction : is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes, and almost never changes the number of chromosomes.

Bacterial reproduction most commonly occurs a kind of cell division called BINARY FISSION. Binary fission involves the division of a single celled organism.

This fits into the Asexual reproduction and prokaryotic Bacteria.  

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
