What are the properties that differentiate the spore from the vegetative cell?

In the spore stain malachite green is used as a primary stain. This is driven into the cell by heat because of the impermeability of the spore. The stain is allowed to sit for 30 mins to make sure it gets in to the endospores.
The stain is then washed and counterstained with safranin red. The endospores retain the green colour from malachite green and of course appear green under the microscope. Whereas the vegetative cells will appear red.

Is bacillus megaterium a spore or a vegetative cell?
It is an endospore former, but it will only form endospores when the environmental conditions are harsh. Thus, it can be a vegetative cell or spore depending on environemental conditions.
The presence of a spore in a vegetative bacterial cell helps establish that the organism is of which genus?
Bacillus and Clostridium
What do you call a cell with a hard protective coat around it?
spore
What is a spore forming group of organisms?
Spore formers are a group of bacteria which form an endospore. When certain bacteria are stressed, sub-lethally injured, or placed in danger in any way it will form what is know as an endospore. The endospore contains all of the necessary genetic information necessary to regenerate a new vegetative bacterial cell if the bacterium is killed or lethally injured. Endospores will not germinate into vegetative cells unless the original bacterium is killed and the threat has subsided.
What is a slime mold's reproductive cell called?

How do you get extended cell parts on spore?
well you can go to the secret cell editor by right clicking the spore icon,going to properties,and putting at the end -state:CellEditor. you can also look for a mod but that's hard!
Is a spore a cell?
yes a bacterial cell is an endo spore
Is bacterial cell a endo spore?
yes a bacterial cell is an endo spore
In spore staining what would happen it you used safarin as the primary stain and malachite green as the counterstain?
The spore would appear to be red as the safranin is heat driven into the many layers of the spore, however, as Malachite green has a weak affinity and is water soluble, it will not likely bind to the spore wall or the cell wall. You might have traces of green on the slide if any, but it will be very little. Your vegetative cells will be pink as well.
What do you call a cell with a hard protective coat around it?
spore
Where are endospores located within vegetative cells?
Endospores can form within different areas of the vegetative cell. They can be central, subterminal, or terminal. Central endospores are located within the middle of the vegetative cell. Terminal endospores are located at the end of the vegetative cell. Subterminal endospores are located between the middle and the end of the cell.
What is a single cell that can grow into a new plant is called?
a cell in a seedless plant, that can grow into a new plant

How much genetic material must a spore carry to produce a new organism?
during sporulation ( spore formation from vegetative cell) genetic material (DNA) is degraded....it doesnt carry "genetic material" as awhole but carries all of its components- bases, sugars, phosphates...during or before germination ( spore to new organism) polymerization of these components' united structure ( nucleotide) occurs.
What is the spore in the cytoplasm?
The spore in the cytoplasm is known as endospore in a prokaryotic cell. The spores are formed as a result of cell division.
