<u>An endospore may survive a drought because it is protected by a thick wall.</u>

An endospore represents an extremely tough and dormant cell structure produced by some specific type of bacteria. The structures are resistant and primarily produced to ensure survival in the face of adverse environmental conditions.

<em>Endospores are made up of the bacterial's DNA and ribosomes along with a large amount of a special type of acid that helps them to remain dormant - the dipicolinic acid. The entire structure is protected by a thick wall which contributes to their ability to survive tough environmental conditions.</em>

The correct option is b.

Answer:

Thick wall

Explanation:

An endospore is a tough structure that is produced by some organisms like bacteria. It plays an important role in during environmental stress like drought, by enabling the survival of the bacterial cell during such stress and also making it highly resistant

A major feature of the endospore that aids resistance to environmental stress like drought is a thick wall called the cortex. This thick wall consists of specialized peptidoglycan, which makes the endospore highly resistant to highly resistant to high temperature.

noname [10]
The correct question for this is: "<span>The concentration of proteins synthesized in the breast are more affected by _____ than _____."

What is the difference between plankton, nekton and benthos?
Archy [21]
<span>The common difference between the three organisms is the area in which they specifically live or stay in the ocean. Planktons can’t be seen by the naked eye and they require microscopes to be detected. Planktons usually float in the water and they cannot move on their own that’s why they are dependent in the movement of the water.

Nektons are organisms that swim through the water and they live in different depths in the ocean ecosystem. Nektons are composed of fish and other mammals that propel themselves through the water.

Benthos are organisms that live in the ocean floor and many of these organisms stay in one place by attaching themselves to rocks. This adaptation protects them from crashing waves and drastic water movements. Other benthos are known to burrow in the ocean floor either for food or protection.</span>
