class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Microbes are tiny living organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. They are found everywhere on Earth, from the highest mountains to the deepest oceans.<\/p>\n<p>Microbes play a vital role in human welfare. They are used to produce food, clean water, and fuel. They are also used to produce medicines and vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>Some microbes are used to produce food. For example, bacteria are used to produce yogurt, cheese, and sausage. Bacteria are also used to produce bioethanol, a fuel made from corn.<\/p>\n<p>Some microbes are used to clean water. For example, certain bacteria consume organic matter and produce carbon dioxide and water. This process is called bioremediation. It can be used to clean up oil spills, chemical spills, and wastewater.<\/p>\n<p>Some microbes are used to produce medicines and vaccines. For example, bacteria are used to produce insulin, which is used to treat diabetes. Bacteria are also used to produce vaccines for diseases such as tuberculosis, typhoid, and cholera.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-147516 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/microbes-in-human-welfare-explanation.jpg\" alt=\"Microbes in Human Welfare\" width=\"606\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/microbes-in-human-welfare-explanation.jpg?v=1647731784 606w, https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/microbes-in-human-welfare-explanation-300x212.jpg?v=1647731784 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_Microbes_be_used_to_improve_Human_Welfare\"><\/span>How can Microbes be used to improve Human Welfare?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are many ways in which microbes can be used to improve human welfare. For example, microbes can be used to produce food, to clean up pollution, and to treat diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Microbes can be used to produce food. For example, bacteria can be used to produce yogurt, cheese, and beer. Microbes can also be used to produce biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel.<\/p>\n<p>Microbes can be used to clean up pollution. For example, bacteria can be used to break down oil spills. Microbes can also be used to clean up toxic waste.<\/p>\n<p>Microbes can be used to treat diseases. For example, bacteria can be used to treat sewage. Bacteria can also be used to produce antibiotics.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fermented_Beverages\"><\/span>Fermented Beverages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Fermented beverages are alcoholic drinks that are made by fermenting sugar and starches from fruits, vegetables, grains, or other sources. Yeast is added to the sugar and starch mixture, and the yeast ferments the sugar into alcohol. The alcohol content of fermented beverages varies, but most are between 3% and 12% alcohol by volume.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Antibiotics\"><\/span>What are Antibiotics?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Antibiotics are drugs that are used to treat bacterial infections. They work by killing the bacteria or preventing them from multiplying.<\/p>\n<p>There are many different types of antibiotics, and they are classified according to their mechanism of action. Some common types of antibiotics include penicillins, cephalosporins, erythromycins, and tetracyclines.<\/p>\n<p>Antibiotics are usually prescribed by a doctor, and they should only be taken as directed. It is important to take all of the antibiotics prescribed, even if you start to feel better. Stopping treatment early can allow the bacteria to become resistant to the antibiotic and make the infection harder to treat.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"row-title\" href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/study-materials\/ncert-solutions\/class-12\/biology\/chapter-10-microbes-in-human-welfare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"\u201cNCERT Solutions for Class 12 Biology Chapter 10 \u2013 Microbes in Human Welfare\u201d (Edit)\">NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Biology Chapter 10 \u2013 Microbes in Human Welfare<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chemicals_Enzymes_and_Other_Bioactive_Molecules\"><\/span>Chemicals, Enzymes and Other Bioactive Molecules<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bioactive molecules are chemicals that have a biological effect on cells or organisms. Enzymes are a type of bioactive molecule that catalyze chemical reactions in the body. Other bioactive molecules include hormones, neurotransmitters, and vitamins.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Microbes_in_Sewage_Treatment\"><\/span>Microbes in Sewage Treatment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In sewage treatment, activated sludge is mixed with wastewater to provide a food source for bacteria that break down the organic matter in the wastewater. The bacteria use up the oxygen in the wastewater, and the activated sludge helps to provide oxygen to the bacteria.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Microbes_in_Primary_treatment\"><\/span>Microbes in Primary treatment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the primary treatment of a burn, the goal is to stop the burning process, remove any dead tissue, and prevent infection. Treatment will also include relieving pain and providing fluids and nutrition.<\/p>\n<p>To stop the burning process, the area is cooled with water, ice, or a special cooling agent. This is called cooling or irrigation.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the dead tissue is removed. This is called debridement. Debridement may be done with a scalpel, scissors, or other instruments. It may also be done with a chemical agent, such as an enzyme or saline solution.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the area is cleaned and treated with a topical antibiotic ointment.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Microbes_in_Secondary_Treatment\"><\/span>Microbes in Secondary Treatment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This step is for water that is not considered clean enough to drink. The water is sent through a series of filters that remove more particles and chemicals. This makes the water cleaner, but it is not yet safe to drink.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_Biogas_Production_from_Dairy_Manure\"><\/span>In Biogas Production from Dairy Manure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Biogas production from dairy manure is a potential application of anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion is a process where organic matter is converted into methane and carbon dioxide. This process can be used to break down dairy manure and produce biogas. Biogas can be used to generate electricity or heat, or can be upgraded to natural gas quality.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Microbes_As_Biocontrol_Agents\"><\/span>Microbes As Biocontrol Agents<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As biocontrol agents, nematodes are effective in controlling a number of soil-borne pests, including plant-parasitic nematodes, weed seeds, and insect larvae. In some cases, nematodes are more effective at controlling pests than chemical pesticides.<\/p>\n<p>Also read: <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Microbes In Human Welfare Questions for CBSE
