How bacteria can survive harsh conditions?
With the help of endospores, or thick-walled structures that help the bacteria survive harsh conditions.
What are produced by some bacteria when their environment becomes unsuitable?
endospore
What is A thick walled protective spore that forms inside a bacterial call and resists harsh conditions is called a?
An Endospore.
Whats a thick coated resistant structure made by some gram positive bacteria to protect against harsh environments?
endospore
How are bacterial endospores and cysts of protozoa similar?
Both can survive/resist harsh conditions
How do bacteria survive harsh conditions?
They form an endospore. An endospore is a thick cell wall that helps protect them. Endospores enable bacteria to lie dormant for extended periods of time when the environment is unfavorable (such as extreme temperatures, radiation, extreme pH levels, extreme pressures and harmful chemical agents). Then, when the environment becomes more favorable, the endospore can reactivate itself to the vegetative state.

Does the bacteria tetanus need a host to survive?
No. The bacterium Clostridium tetani forms an endospore and can survive for long periods of time. When the endospore is introduced into a favorable environment it begins to metabolize.

endospore
What would happen if you placed a bacillus in a hot and dry environment?
Bacillus would form an endospore .
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.
Why is life on Earth so harsh to the Environment?
The earth isn't harsh to the environment, we are harsh to the environment. If we could all just help the earth and the environment by redusing reusing and recycling we wouldn't have to ask these questions. keep our earth clean!

Most bacteria are surrounded by a rigid protective structure called the?
cell wall
What is the environment of the mariana trench?
The Mariana trench has a very harsh environment and it is a deep sea environment.
