Question: 1 / 400

What stage does bacteria enter when the environment makes its survival difficult?

Active stage

Dormant stage

Bacteria enters the dormant stage when the environment makes its survival difficult. This means that the bacteria temporarily stops growing and reproducing in order to conserve energy and resources to survive in a harsh environment. Option A, the active stage, would not make sense since the bacteria would not be actively growing and reproducing in a difficult environment. Option C, the reproductive stage, would also not make sense as the bacteria would not be able to reproduce in such an environment. Option D, the metabolic stage, refers to the overall metabolic functions of the bacteria and does not specifically address its response to a challenging environment. Therefore, option B, the dormant stage, is the most accurate answer.
