Answer: Bacteria will have Increased ability to transport materials throughout the cell and Grow larger.

Explanation: Diffusion is the movement of substances from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. This is one of the basic principles behind the movement of materials and nutrients thought the bodies of living organisms,it is also a natural process that has helped to hinder growth of Microorganisms like Bacteria.
