Resistant cell that can survive harsh conditions?
endospores
Difference between endospores and vegetative cell?
Endospores are thick-coated, resistant cells produced within a bacterial cell that has been exposed to harsh conditions. Endospores are inert and can endure extreme conditions like radiation, heat and cold, absence of nutrients and water. When conditions are good, they produce vegetative cells and thrive. When condition turn unfavorable, endospores are produced again and they remain inert. Vegetative cells are any cells of plants or animals that do not participate in reproduction. These are vulnerable to external changes and react easily. They cannot thrive in unfavorable conditions.
Compare and contrast a zygospore a cyst and an endospore?
Bacterial cysts differ from endospores in the way they are formed and also the degree of resistance to unfavorable conditions. Endospores are much more resistant than cysts.
When do endospores form?
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.
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.
Which microorganism is least resistant to antimicrobial agents?
endospores
Why does exposure to uv radiation cause death in vegetative cells but not endospores?
Endospores are more resistant for several reasons
Which microbial forms are most resistant to disinfectants?
Microorganisms that are in a dormant or contain endospores are the most resistant.
