**Question:**A microorganism that is not greatly affected by an increase or decrease in pressure would be referred to as:**Options:**a) psychrotolerant b) barotolerant c) barophilic d) osmophilic e) osmotolerant **Selected Answer:**b) barotolerant---**Explanation:**In the context of microorganisms, **barotolerant** organisms are those that can withstand changes in pressure without significant effects on their growth or functioning. This is in contrast to **barophilic** microorganisms, which thrive at high-pressure environments. The other options refer to different environmental tolerances: **psychrotolerant** (low temperatures), **osmophilic** (high sugar concentrations), and **osmotolerant** (variations in osmotic pressure without specific preference for high sugar or salt concentrations).

there are several environment factors such as temperature, pressure, humidity Osmolarity that…

Answered: A microorganism that is not greatly…
