Question

Microbes are only present in hot and humid areas.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in an internship interview.

This question is from Microbes topic in chapter Microbes in Human Welfare of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) False

For explanation I would say: Microbes occur everywhere- in soil, water, air, inside our bodies and that of other animals and plants. They are present even at sites where no other life-form could possibly exist- sites such as deep inside geysers, deep in the soil, etc.
