Which statement correctly describes the differences between sterilization and sanitation? Sterlization removes pathogenic microbes, while sanitation removes all microbes. Sterilization removes all microbes from a surface, while sanitation removes most microbes. Sterilization is used for instruments and tools, while sanitation is used for consumable products. Sterilization reduces the total microbe count, while sanitation reduces the only harmful microbe count.

What statement correctly explains why moist-heat is more effective than dry-heat for sterilization purposes? The microbe's molecules are resistant to alteration in the absence of water. Dry heat will always be a lower temperature than moist heat. Dry heat dehydrates the microbes, and dehydration is a method of preserving microbes. Water is a good conductor of heat.
In a clinical laboratory, all microbes contained in a clinical sample are isolated and identified. In a clinical laboratory, all microbes contained in a clinical sample are isolated and identified. True False
Besides dehydrated foods, how might the amount of water available to microbes be decreased? Group of answer choices Treatment by non-ionizing radiation. Treatment at high pressures for extended periods of time. Storage at temperatures between -2 and 4 °C. Pasteurization Addition of solutes such as salt or sugar.

Name 4 different sterilization/disinfecting methods, how they fight microbes, and rank them in order of the best method to the least effective method.
What statement describes the danger of using heavy metals to control microbe growth? Group of answer choices Heavy metals promote biofilm formation in humans. Heavy metals stimulate some microbes to reproduce even more. Heavy metals can assist with virus attachment to host cells. Heavy metals are toxic to many organisms besides microbes.
