The spores are protected by hard protective coat because the environment the spores might land, is not that very friendly. And the function of that covering is to protect the spore.

What are the disadvantages of reproducing using spores?

Advantages - Spores are covered by a hard protective coat which enables them to survive under unfavourable conditions like lack of water and extreme temperatures. But when the conditions are favourable, the spores grow to produce new plants. This help them to run their species at any type adverse condition or environment. Thus the advantage is that despite of unfavourable environment, their species will not be demolished.Disadvantages - spore formation process is quite primitive.

Hard protective cover of a seed?

Why are microbial spores resistant to dessication?

. They are so hard to kill because of their structure. They have a unique cellular structure. They have a hard outer coat surrounding the spore. This makes it hard for disinfectants to penetrate. There is a very thick layer beneath the coat call the cortex. This gives it resistance to heat. There is a germ cell wall under the cortex.Under the germ cell is the inner membrane and it is a permeability barrier against many potentially damaging chemicals.


Why are spores more difficult to stain than vegetative cells?

Spores are very hard and dense, dye is not readily absorbed into the endospore. However, one method of staining is the Schaeffer and Fulton method. The stain is malachite green and the proper method entails preparing a heat fixed smear which is covered by a piece of blotting paper, and flooded with the dye. Wait 15 mins then remove blotting paper and wash. Counterstain with 0.5% Safrinin. Spores appear green.


What does seed coat protect?

Why does a seed have a better chance of growing into a new plant than a spore does?

Seeds are protected by a hard outer coat that helps them survive harsh conditions and provides nutrients for growth. Additionally, seeds contain an embryo that is ready to start growing once it receives the right conditions. Spores, on the other hand, are microscopic and lack protective structures, making them more vulnerable to environmental stresses.
