**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Microbial Metabolism**: Microbes, such as bacteria and fungi, undergo metabolic processes that can involve fermentation or decomposition. During these processes, they can produce various gases as byproducts. 2. **Example 1 - Fermentation in Dough**: - When preparing dough for foods like chole bhature, idli, or dosa, specific bacteria (like yeast) are added to the mixture. - These bacteria ferment the sugars present in the dough, leading to the production of carbon dioxide (CO2). - The CO2 gas gets trapped in the dough, causing it to rise and become puffy. This is a clear indication of gas release during microbial metabolism. ...
