Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is NOT a method of sterilization?
  • Step 1: Understand what sterilization means. Sterilization is a process that kills all forms of microbial life, including bacteria, viruses, and spores.
  • Step 2: Identify common methods of sterilization. Common methods include autoclaving (using steam under pressure), dry heat, and chemical sterilization.
  • Step 3: Consider boiling water as a method. Boiling water can kill many bacteria and viruses, but it does not kill all spores or certain resistant pathogens.
  • Step 4: Conclude that boiling water is not a reliable method of sterilization because it does not meet the criteria of killing all microorganisms.
