    1. Microorganisms require water, a carbon source, nitrogen, inorganic salts, and other growth factors to grow. Their growth requirements can be categorized as physical (temperature, pH, osmotic pressure) or chemical (nutrients). 2. Sterilization aims to eliminate all microorganisms through various means like heat, chemicals, radiation, or high pressure. Moist heat sterilization using steam is a common and effective sterilization technique. Dry heat in an oven at 170°C for two hours can also achieve sterilization. 3. Normal flora are the microorganisms that naturally live on and inside the human body without causing disease, such as the approximately 100 trillion bacteria in our
