Introduction:
The manufacturing of various food supplements like Spirullina, which is a rich source of proteins, vitamin supplements, protein supplements, probiotic milk and yoghurt are essential for maintaining the health and digestive system of a person. These milk products contain health friendly strains of bacteria, which maintain the balance of the diet and ensures the proper functioning of the digestive system, according to the U.S FDA norms (Food and Drug administration).

What are examples of how scientists use microorganisms to improve human life quality.arrow_forwardPlease provide evidence supporting or refuting the following statement: Humans consume microbes every day with little health risk.arrow_forwardAn antibiotic is: a- A disease causing microorganism. b- A protein that inactivates a foreign substance by bonding to its surface. c- A white blood cell that engulfs and destroys disease causing microorganisms. d-A chemical that inhibits the growth of or destroys certain microorganismsarrow_forward
- Years ago, uncouplers were suggested to make wonderful diet drugs. Explain why this idea was proposed and why it was rejected. Why might the producers of antiperspirants be supportive of the idea?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn are correct? Select all that apply. Question 19 options: Bt corn is only used for animal feed in the United States Bt corn has an inserted bacterial gene in its genome. Bt corn has increased nutritional value and a longer shelf life compared to corn that has not been genetically modified. Bt corn is approved for human consumption.arrow_forwardWhich statement best describes why antimicrobial drugs that affect cell wall synthesis tend to have selective toxicity when used by humans?
