What are the three diseases caused by organisms that form endospores?
Bacterial Spores are a bacterial defensive strategy to survive in harsh environments. Several types of bacteria are capable of using this mechanism. The spores themselves do not cause the disease, they must be first be reactivated to functional bacteria in the proper environment. Bascillis anthasis or more commonly know as anthrax is the most well know due to the potential terrorist threat. The more prevalent bacteria which causes disease is clostridium difficile which reactivates in the colon causing a diarrhea illness usually after someone takes antibiotics which kill off the normal colon bacteria. Up to 5-10% of people carry this in their colon, but this becomes much higher amongst hospitalized patients. There are other spore forming bacteria, but these are not commonly associated with disease.
How much do bacteria multiply in 10 minutes?
That would depend on what kind of bacteria you are dealing with and how ideal the environment is for that species.
A culture of 10 bacteria is started and the number of bacteria will double every hour in about how many hours will there be 3000000 bacteria?
After t hours the number of bacteria is 10*2t. So 10*2t > 3000000 => 2t > 300000 => t(log2) > log(300000) => t > log(300000)/(log2) => t > 18.19.. So in just over 18 hours (or 18 hours and 12 minutes, approx).

The bacteria that spread this disease are referred to as bordetella pertussis. The disease takes a toll on the immune system of younger people within 6 weeks. The symptoms of Pertussis include nausea, severe coughing, and fever. The term 'whooping cough' is the result of the sound that the patient makes while coughing. Sadly, the disease spreads in underdeveloped regions of the world, where the access rate of the expensive antibiotics is highly questionable.Bacteria causes many diseases such as whooping cough, diarrhoea, typhoid fever, bacterial pneumonia and many more! :)When bacteria in the body and cause disease, hence this phenomenon is called infection. Diseases caused depending on the type and place of occurrence of bacterial infections. An example is typhoid, caused by the bacterium Salmonella thypi.

No. Influenza viruses are active. You are infected, so your body creates antibodies that disable the viruses in 7 to 10 days. Then your body eventually removes all of the "dead" ones from your body.
