Why do bacteria multiply so quickly?

Bacteria do multiply very quickly. All thanks to the structural features and the way bacteria reproduce. Most bacteria divide in half. Their body is quite simple, so division is fast. New organisms recover after division and again begin to prepare for further reproduction. Certain types of bacteria share every 20 minutes. Let’s calculate how many new individuals will be obtained from one such bacteria per day. It will be a number like this:

4 722 366 482 869 645 213 696.
