Quorum sensing enables bacteria to gauge population density through signal release, allowing coordinated group actions.
Quorum sensing allows bacteria to detect population density by releasing signals, enabling them to coordinate group behaviors.
| Text | Quorum Sensing: bacteria release signals to neighboring bacteria so that bacteria can detect population density, allowing them to act as a group in response to changes in the environment. |
