What can protect bacteria from harsh conditions for even millions of years?
cell wall
i dont know i am looking for the same answer haha. anybody know this answer. i am doing test corrections in biology and need the answers... please.
Biota that live in extreme environments are known as extremophiles. They have evolved to like these conditions. Black Smokers in the ocean floor, are surrounded by such organisms - in that case, of ones that can survive without light and oxygen.
Some bacteria form spores, sort of a dried condition with no metabolic process happening, until the condition change and the spore comes out of it's condition and reconstitutes the bacterial form
Microorganisms that are similar to bacteria in size and simplicity of structure but radically different in molecular organization Enjoy your free answer from science net for more questions please call (901)759-3000
What can protect bacteria from harsh conditions for even millions of years?
With the help of endospores, or thick-walled structures that help the bacteria survive harsh conditions.
they survive in harsh conditions
Endospores
to protect the horse from harsh weather conditions
Endospores
Workers protested against harsh working conditions. This led to the formation of unions in order to protect the rights of the worker.
When conditions outside the bacteria get very extreme and hard to live in, the bacteria can produce endospores, these endospores store the bacteria's genetic code so the bacteria can replenish itself should it happen to die in the harsh conditions.
they do survive when the environment is wet
Bacteria that exist in harsh environmental conditions are often classified as belonging to the domain Archaea. Archaea are known for their ability to thrive in extreme environments such as hot springs, deep-sea vents, and salt flats.
because they have very thick layers of peptidoglycan.
