Answer:

Hay infusion refers to an amalgamation that can be formed by taking samples from different sources like rivers, lakes, ponds, and others. It is one of the best procedures that can elevate the density of the bacteria cell at any specific time interval.  

In the given case, even after boiling hay infusion for one hour, growth was observed in the flask after one day. It can be due to certain factors like the hay infusion may have been comprising some endospore, which is resistant to heat or may comprise some kinds of bacteria that can withstand high temperatures.  

Because of which, even after heating the infusion for one hour, it did not get influenced by the heat and got the chance to grow when it got optimum temperature again at the time when the sample was left as such.

ehidna [41]
Cellular respiration consists of different process as glycolysis. Krebs cycle and electron transport so that an energy in the form of ATP extracting in the process of cellular respiration in the food you eat. All organism undertake the first step which is glycolysis. 
Cellular respiration goes on all the time, it involves an intake oxygen and glucose in order to create energy. Respiration is important because without it you would'nt  be alive because you need oxygen for you to live.

Yes. it has a situation where living cells are not respiring, for example, the microbial cells that live in anaeboric environments in certain environments will use fermentation rather than respiration to produce ATP. An example is yeast cell in beer mash.
