Refer to figure 1.10 and use the following pattern to construct an outline of the scientific reasoning that was involved in developing the germ theory of disease.

Observations Hypothesis Testing the Hypothesis Germ Theory of Disease Accepted Principle or Law Hypothesis Predictions Testing Theory/Principle Compare endospore formers to non-endospore microbes Endospores are the only Bacterial endospores f hypothesis is true are the most resistant of all cells on earth. endospores can survive extreme conditions such as: cells consistently capable of surviving a wide range of destructive environmental conditions. In order to sterilize, these celis must be eliminated. Survival of endospore former non-endospore former Survival of . temperature (boiling).. . radiation (ultraviolet).... . chemicals (disinfectants) Only 1 out of 4 cell types survives Endospores of certain bacteria Endospores Cells without endospores are ordinary bacteria, fungi, animal cells. Additional tests show that endospores have thick coverings and protective features and that endospores are known to survive over millions of years
