Answer 1

	Endospore	Vegetative cell
1.	Thick spore cortex	Most of the cell is positive and few are negative
2.	Heat resistance is high	Low heat resistance
3.	Chemical resistance high	Chemical resistance low
4.	Oxygen uptake low	Oxygen uptake high

An endospore is a tough, nonreproductive structure produced by few bacteria. An endospore is produced to ensure that bacteria survive the harsh conditions.
