How do micro organisms affect our lives?

Micro-organisms affect every facet of our lives. From disease to digestion, nothing we do remains unaffected by micro-organisms.


What is the effect of cold condition on micro-organisms?

Cold conditions can significantly affect micro-organisms by slowing down their metabolic processes, which can lead to reduced growth rates and reproduction. Some micro-organisms may enter a dormant state to survive extreme cold, while others may be killed if the temperatures are too low. However, certain cold-adapted species, known as psychrophiles, thrive in these conditions and can continue to function and reproduce effectively at low temperatures. Overall, the impact of cold on micro-organisms varies depending on their specific adaptations and environmental context.


What is an example of micro evolution in organisms?

An example of microevolution in organisms is the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Through repeated exposure to antibiotics, bacteria may develop genetic mutations that confer resistance to the drug, allowing those bacteria to survive and reproduce, leading to the evolution of a population that is no longer susceptible to the antibiotic.


How do micro-organisms take in water?

Micro-organisms often absorb water through a process called osmosis, where water molecules pass through their cell membranes from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. Some micro-organisms, like bacteria, may also actively transport water into their cells using specialized proteins or channels.
