Definition of Egocentric. According to the Oxford Dictionary, egocentric means âthinking only of oneself, without regard for the feelings or desires of others, centered in or arising from a personâs own existence or perspective.â Here are a few examples of how the term egocentric is commonly used:
Under conditions of starvation, especially the lack of carbon and nitrogen sources, a single endospores form within some of the bacteria. The process is called sporulation (def). First the DNA replicates (Fig. 3, step 1)and a cytoplasmic membrane septum forms at one end of the cell (Fig.. Function of Endospores. An endospore is not a reproductive structure but rather a resistant, dormant survival form of the organism. Endospores are quite resistant to high temperatures (including boiling), most disinfectants, low energy radiation, drying, etc.
They are therefore resistant to ultraviolet and gamma radiation, desiccation, lysozyme, temperature, starvation, and chemical disinfectants. Endospores are commonly found in soil and water, where they may survive for long periods of time. Some bacteria produce exospores or cysts instead pencilln affects osmotic imbalance of bacterial cell, [salt] hope this helps u some bit. Source(s): mysterous.....
