What are the differences between exospore and endospore?
The difference between an exospore and an endospore is simple. An endospore is a spore produced within the cell wall of a mother cell and released when the cell wall ruptures. An exospore is cutoff by the cell division of mother cell wall. They are released one at a time.
What is endospore formation is called?
The process of endospore formation within a vegetation cell takes several hours and is known as sporulation or sporogenesis.
What prevents the cell from appearing green in the finished endospore stain?
Vegetative cells readily decolorize because they are permeable.
Why does an endospore form?
a bacterial cell will form (essentially morph into) an endospore when its environment changes. If the cell has adapted to survive in warm, moist conditions with an abundance of proteins and then if these conditions the bacterial cell has adapted to are changed, conditions aren't warm or moist then as a survival mechanism it will essentially morph into an endospore. Then when conditions change back to the cells original ideal conditions, tiny chemoreceptors on the endospore will activate genes in the cell to morph back into its normal form.
What are endospores and what do they lack?
They are fungus spores born within a cell. Endospore formation is triggered by lack of nutrients

Is a bacterial cell an endospore?
yes, by a lot
What is the arrangement of a endospore?
position in which the endospore is found within the cell for example could either be terminal or central etc.
What is endospore formation is called?
The process of endospore formation within a vegetation cell takes several hours and is known as sporulation or sporogenesis.
What is a small rounded thick walled resting cell?
endospore
What prevents the cell from appearing green in the finished endospore stain?
Vegetative cells readily decolorize because they are permeable.
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.
When a cell produce an endospores has that cell reproduced explain?
Endospore formation has not been considered as a mode of reproduction. During adverse conditions, vegetative cells form endospore, which on the availability of favourable conditions will absorb water and germinate to form the vegetative cells again. Endosopres are thick walled structures. Under unfavourable conditions the endospore are non porous and resistant to high salt and acidic conditions which the normal vegetative cells are sensitive to. Often the vegetative cell loses the major part of its cytoplasm to form an endospore. Thus the endospore consists of only the genetic material surrounded by minimum quantity of cytoplasm.
A structure in some bacteria that is resistant to adverse environmental factors is a?
endospore
Of what use is the endospore stain?
The use of endospore stain is to see specialized cell structures. It can tell if some bacterium cells contain higher resistant spores within vegetative cells.

Then when conditions change back to the cells original ideal conditions, tiny chemoreceptors on the endospore will activate genes in the cell to morph back into its normal form.
What is the advantage of endospore to clostridium?
Endospores lay dormant until conditions are such that they can re-activate the cell.
