The role of microorganisms such as yeast in the environment is that these contain bacteria which are the workhorses of biological processes such as fermentation to produce metabolites that are beneficial to the body. An example of this is the fermentation of any fruit (or substances containing sugar) to produce metabolites such as alcohol, aldehydes, acids (lactic or acetic acid) and many more via the action of yeast bacteria, commonly <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>. Pollutants affect the functions of yeast as they play as contaminants of the living workhorses.Pollutants can introduce disturbances which affect how yeasts strive in the environment. This affects the production of metabolites as well.

Type the answer through sentences please and thank you
Nonamiya [84]

In order for plants to make their own food, they must go through a process called photosynthesis. This process occurs in the chloroplasts of a cell. To begin this process, all items needed must go to the cells of a plant. Water and nutrient are absorbed from the soil through the roots. A tube called the xylem carries only water up the stem to the rest of the plant. Gas exchange in the plants occur in the tiny pores of a leaf called the stomata. This is opened and closed by the guard cells. The food produced by this process is called ATP and it is a macromolecule known as a nucleic acid.
