How does acid in the stomach kill bacteria?
The stomach acid makes the stomach a particularly hostile environment for bacteria. It is an too acidic an environment for most microorganisms to survive. In addition there are proteases that will digest most cells.
What is the benefit of having hydrochloric acid in your stomach?
Hydrochloric acid reduces the pH of the stomach fluids to 1.5-2. At such a low pH, most microorganisms are unable to survive. So, when we ingest microorganisms with our food, they are killed by the acidic conditions in our stomach. That is why, people don't fall sick all the time.
Microorganisms removed from incoming air by sticky mucus are most likely to be destroyed by?
being enveloped in additional mucus and swallowed into the stomach, where they are exposed to acidic digestive juices that can destroy them.
Why aren't microorganisms in tap water?
Most tap water is treated to remove microorganisms through filtration and disinfection processes. This ensures that the water is safe for consumption and reduces the risk of waterborne diseases caused by microorganisms.
Can all microorganism be cultured using synthetic media?
No, not all microorganisms can be cultured using synthetic media. Some microorganisms require more complex nutrient sources or specific environmental conditions that cannot be fully replicated in synthetic media. This is why a variety of media types are used in microbiology to successfully culture a wider range of microorganisms.
What do you find most surprising about microorganisms living in extreme conditions?
I find it surprising how adaptable microorganisms are to extreme conditions such as high temperatures, high pressure, acidity, or lack of oxygen. They have unique survival mechanisms that allow them to thrive in environments where other organisms cannot survive.
When is the earliest age to die at?
whenever you can even die if your in your moms stomach. most babies survive that stage but a lot can die as well.

Does eating soap or shampoo causes death?
No it cannot kill you, but it can upset your stomach at most if you eat too much of it.
What are the differences between sanitization, disinfection, and sterilization in terms of their effectiveness in killing microorganisms?
Sanitization reduces the number of microorganisms to a safe level, disinfection kills most but not all microorganisms, and sterilization kills all microorganisms. Sterilization is the most effective in killing microorganisms, followed by disinfection, and then sanitization.
