## Answers.

1. An autoclave works by using high pressure and steam to kill bacteria and viruses. .

2. The process of sterilization in an autoclave involves placing items inside the autoclave chamber, sealing it shut, and filling it with water. The water is heated, creating steam that builds up pressure inside the chamber. The high temperature and pressure of the steam effectively kill any bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms on the items being sterilized. After a set time, the steam is released and the chamber is opened, providing completely sterilized items ready for use in medical, laboratory, or other settings.
