40 percent of the world’s economy and 80 percent of the poor are derived from biological resources. This means, the richer the diversity of life, the greater the opportunity for medical discoveries, economic development, and adaptive responses to such new challenges as climate change.
Answer:
a.Most bacteria and fungi are harmless and may be beneficial to other living things.
Explanation:
Bacteria and Fungi are two distinct organisms that belong to different class of organisms. Fungi are eukaryotic while bacteria are prokaryotic. Although they both exist in different life forms such as being parasitic, saprophytic etc. most bacteria and fungi species are harmless and may even be beneficial to other living things.
Bacteria and Fungi are beneficial to other organisms in the sense that they form mutualistic relationships with other living organisms. For example, certain species of bacteria helps to fix nitrogen in the root nodules of leguminous plants, while fungi forms a mutualistic relationship with algae called LICHEN where they benefit one another in a way or the other.

Answer:
MNP stands for the most probable number which is used for finding out the concentration of viable bacteria in a sample. It is commonly used to check the quality of water and its safety. Usually, the presence of fecal coliform bacteria is checked in this test.
Principle of MNP: The sample which is to be tested is diluted serially and then inoculated into a broth medium containing lactose. If coliforms are present in the tube than it will consume lactose and release acid and gas.
Color change represents acid production and gas trapped in the Durham tube represents the gas production by bacteria. Then the number of tubes at each dilution that showed positive results are compared with standards to determine the most probable number of the bacteria.
