Why cultivating microbes on slant agar?
in my opinion, cultivating microbes on slant agar is carried out when we do not know anything about the microbe. slant agar is a nutrient rich medium that allows most microorganism to grow. therefore, we could obtain a pure sample of the microorganism.
What is the harm of microorganisms?
There are many dangers of working with microbes including infection. You could also die from getting these microbes inside of you.
Where you can fing useful microbes?
Microbes are single celled living things too small to see. All higher life forms depend to some extent on microbes. Microbes are what turn milk into yogurt, and may be found there. They cause bread to rise. They may be found in bread dough. They are used to make sauerkraut, kimchee and certain other kinds of pickles, and can be found there. Microbes are at the base of the food chain. They are eaten by tiny animals that are, in turn, eaten by larger animals. Microbes are important in composting and putting nitrogen into the soil. There are many kinds of beneficial microbes in the soil. Cows and horses and many other kinds of plant eating animals have microbes in their stomachs and intestines. These microbes break down cellulose, which is what the cell walls of the plants the eat are made of. Without these microbes, the cows and horses would die. In fact, we could guess that all animals with intestines have microbes in them. We could go on. And on. and on.
How could you tell if a sample of ink is pure?
Use chromatography
Why should you avoid touching microbes?
Disgusts keep us away from things that could make us ill. Rotten things that are decaying contain microbes and many of these can cause diseases. They kill millions of people and make billions of others sick.
Which change in a sample of water could indicate that heterotrophic microbes were active?

Which change in a sample pond water could indicate that heterotrophic microbes were active?
a decrease in oxygen level

If a product has the term eco in it what benefits could one expect?
"Eco" means a product is environment-friendly. One can expect that it is biodegradable, or it does not contain harmful chemicals that would otherwise hurt the environment around us.
What causes the symptoms of a disease - the microbes or the toxins produced by the microbes?
It could be either or both, depending on the microbe.
If you could melt a sample of sodium chloride would you expect it to conduct electricity?
yes, molten sodium chloride may conduct the electricity but is not a good electrolyte.

Could you survive without microbes?
no because because we live in symbiosis with them
Which change in a sample of pond water could indicate that heterotropic microbes were active?
A lowering of the dissolved oxygen would be an indication of that happening and that would be the primary thing that i would look for

How do you think you could select a random sample of your classmates?
It depends on the what the sample is for, but at least get both girls and boys in the sample.
Which microbes could cause infection?
There are several types of microbes that could cause infection and they may be acute chronic or latent infections. A microbe that could cause an acute infection is rhinovirus, one that could cause a chronic infection is hepatitis C and one that could cause a latent infection is herpes zoster.
