Test: Do You Know Which Of These Facts Are True?

Ok 6/10 I'm dumb !!!

vaccarellomichele, Certain bacteria, like Clostridium perfringens, can form spores, which are dormant, highly resistant structures that protect the bacteria from harsh conditions, including boiling. Thermophiles, bacteria that have adapted to live in very hot environments, such as hot springs and hydrothermal vents, and can survive boiling temperatures.

margaret V. , That is not true. Certain bacteria, like Clostridium perfringens, can form spores, which are dormant, highly resistant structures that protect the bacteria from harsh conditions, including boiling. Thermophiles, bacteria that have adapted to live in very hot environments, such as hot springs and hydrothermal vents, and can survive boiling temperatures.

margaret V. , there are bacteria which can live in all conditions on earth, including super hot thermal vents in oceans. Boiling water is much lower temp than those.

7/10. I am unsure about some of these questions though!

If you bring the water to boil for at least one minute - this will kill all bacteria!!!!!

It isn’t a fact unless it is true.

There is no solid matter lighter than air. I checked it out.

It has not been proven that it rains diamonds on some planets, just theories.

Learned a lot of these facts from quizclub.

How can bacteria survive boiling water?

I had to look it up: er·u·dite /ˈer(y)əˌdīt/ adjective having or showing great knowledge or learning. "Ken could turn any conversation into an erudite discussion"

Thank you so much for the answers!

I'm erudite 9/10🤓
