Chapter 5, Problem 7RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The changes in the H+ concentration affect cell growth.
Introduction:
Microorganisms are simplest form of organisms that cannot be seen by the naked eye and are present in the environment such as in air, water, soil, and within living organisms. The growth of microbes is affected by various factors such as the temperature, pH (potential of hydrogen), oxygen, and pressure. Some microbes that are adapted to survive in extreme or harsh conditions are known as extremophiles.
