Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6
To thrive, organisms require a proper environment, including appropriate food, oxygen, water, temperature, pH, and light. Space does not generally affect microorganism growth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2, 4, 5, 6
Signs of localized inflammation include swelling, redness, heat, pain or tenderness, and loss of function in the affected body part. When inflammation becomes systemic, other signs and symptoms develop, including fever, leukocytosis, malaise, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, lymph node enlargement, or organ failure.
