What are some examples of conditions that might cause some bacteria to form endospores?
Some bacteria respond to an unfavorable environment by forming endospore.
Which of the following situations might lead to a dangerous growth of bacteria spores?
Very generally - warm, moist and a growth medium (then if aerobic, Oxygen if anaerobic no oxygen)
What are heat resistant structures in bacteria?
Bacteria form heat-resistant structures called endosporeswhen under some sort of stress.
What will penicillin do to oral bactreia?
Kills it.Another answer:It really depends on the bacteria. Some do not respond to penicillin.
If a single colony of bacteria is added to the ozonized water can the bacteria able to grow?

What are some moderating variables for the impact of stress?
Some moderating variables for the impact of stress include social support, coping mechanisms, personality traits (such as resilience), and genetic factors. These variables can influence how individuals respond to and are affected by stress in different situations.
Some bacteria can survive extended periods of very harsh conditions by forming?
endospores. Endospores are dormant structures with thick protective layers that allow bacteria to withstand extreme temperatures, desiccation, and exposure to chemicals and radiation. When conditions become more favorable, endospores can germinate and the bacteria can resume their normal metabolic activities.
What is a bacillus?

Do antibiotics decrease immunity?
Yes to some bacteria. When antibiotics were first discovered they were considered 'miracle' drugs and over used to the point now that some bacteria will not respond.

Antibiotics work in many different ways to destroy bacteria. But viruses are usually to small and work inside cells therefore antiotics don't work.
