KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 11 - 2. Biological Classification
A bacterium is capable of withstanding extreme heat, dryness and toxic chemicals. This indicates that it is probably able to form
- A endotoxins
- B endogenous buds
- C a thick peptidoglycan wall
- D endospores
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) endospores
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(D) endospores,
The bacterium can likely form endospores. Endospores are highly resistant structures that withstand extreme conditions, including heat, dryness, and chemicals. They protect the bacterial DNA from adverse environments.
