Question

How do some bacteria survive in unfavorable conditions?

They use adaptations encoded on plasmids.
They form an endospore around themselves.
They release toxins to destroy immune response.
They multiply rapidly to increase their population.

Answer 1

I believe they form an endospore around themselves- it suspends metabolic activity (any chemical reaction in their cells) so they can retain more energy when there are droughts or the temperature is too low

Answer 2

Answer: They form an endospore around themselves.

Explanation:

An endospore can be define as the dormant state in bacteria. It is the tough non-reproductive state acquired by the bacteria under unfavorable environmental condition. It occurs when the bacteria experiences nutrient deficiency. It usually takes place in gram-negative bacteria.

It allows the bacteria for remain dormant for extended periods of time. When the conditions for survival becomes favorable the bacteria again acquires the vegetative state. This condition helps the bacteria to survive in unfavorable conditions.
