Answer 1

The statements 'human microbiome varies among individuals.', 'obesity is associated with limited microbial diversity' and 'gut microbiome stimulates immune system maturation' are TRUE. The gut microbiome consists of bacteria.

The gut microbiome (also called gut microbiota) is composed of beneficial bacteria and other microorganisms (e.g., fungi), which are useful for the digestive system.

This microbiome helps to ferment non-digestible foods such as dietary fibers and intestinal mucus.

These microorganisms also help to maintain a healthy immune system by eliminating from the body harmful bacteria.
