The significant role of spore formation in the reproductive cycle of this bacterium would be to allow the bacteria to survive in extreme conditions. The spore formed is called an endospore which is a thick cover made of protein. These spores are mostly resistant to heat and chemicals which makes the bacteria survive in harsh conditions. Spores can only be destroyed by sterilization and it require very high pressures and very temperatures. In microbiology and medical settings, this process is usually done in a device known as the autoclave. Sterilization is a process that involves the killing of all microorganism in a system whether it is harmful or beneficial.

Explain the cause-effect relationship between environmental changes and the extinction of species.
Contact [7]

Answer: Anything living needs to have certain conditions, if for example a group of flightless birds who are adapted for warm weather had their environment get colder each year and more extreme the surrounding plants and other animals may have a difficult time surviving and this will cause the birds to have less food. The birds also will not be accustomed to these changes and will not be able to adapt their bodies fast enough. This also makes reproduction difficult and in turn further dwindles the population.

Hey!

Back when I was finding a school I had the same problem! That reminds me of K12!

So what you do is label the areas L that have low pressure which is areas that are near sea level, kind of cold areas.

For H you label those near the center of the map. Which is more of the HOT areas.

It’s currently cold here, burrrr!!

I’ll provide a picture below.

Awesome seeing someone that went to the same online school!

Have a great day,
Eric

Note: you don’t need to label everywhere. If recommend using the map to guide you!

Reply if you have any further questions!!!!
