Describe four features of bacteria that enable them to survive in a wide variety of baitats

Biology
1 answer:
JulsSmile [24]3 years ago
6 0
Bacteria are single-celled organisms, which lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound cell organelles. The bacteria can survive harsh conditions due to:
Energy generating enzymes
Endospores
Cell wall
Cyst
The features of bacteria are:
The primary feature of the bacteria is their ability to develop a cyst, which protects them from unfavorable environmental conditions.
For instance, the prokaryotic organism has a cell wall, which helps them to survive in hypertonic and hypotonic conditions.
Also, the bacteria form endospores that help the bacteria to resist extreme hot temperatures.
The bacteria synthesize cold shock proteins, which help to survive in low temperatures.
Thus, the formation of a cyst, protein synthesis, and endospores are vital for the survival of bacteria in unfavorable conditions.

Explanation:

DNA is present in the genetic material of all the eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms.The eukaryotic genome contains DNA wraps around the histone proteins. Multiple distinct chromosomes are present in the eukaryote genome.

The eukaryotic genome are generally linear structure with the two copies of each chromosome. This makes the eukaryotic genome as diploid structure.
