Explain why the absence of bacteria in the food does not necessarily mean the food is safe to eat.

svlad2 [7]2 years ago

Even if the bacteria is absent from the food, several fungi, mycotoxins, protozoa me be present in the food.

  • Foods are rarely sterile and often contain natural chemical substances. They contain a diverse population of microbes that come from many sources of the natural micro flora.
  • From the time of harvest to the time of preparation and consumption, microbes contaminate the food.
  • A food's microflora is primarily influenced by the type of microbe, the features of the food, contamination, and the conditions during preparation and storage.
  • Foods may contain bacteria, fungus, protozoa, algae, viruses, and other microbial species.
  • The absence of bacteria does not guarantee that the food is safe to consume because there may still be enterotoxins, mycotoxins, fungi, and other difficult-to-identify microorganisms present.

Give me another real-life example for each type of symbiotic relationship<br>​
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Mutualism: both partners benefit. An example of mutualism is the relationship between the Egyptian plover and the crocodile. In the tropical regions of Africa, the crocodile lies with its mouth open. The plover flies into its mouth and feeds on bits of decaying meat stuck in the crocodile’s teeth. The crocodile does not eat the plover. Instead, he appreciates the dental work. The plover eats a meal and the crocodile gets his teeth cleaned. Coincidentally, the Egyptian plover is also known as the crocodile bird.

Commensalism: only one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. For example, remora fish are very bony and have a dorsal fin (the fin on the back of fish) that acts like a suction cup. Remora fish use this fin to attach themselves to whales, sharks, or rays and eat the scraps their hosts leave behind. The remora fish gets a meal, while its host gets nothing. Selfish, sure, but neither gets hurt.

Parasitism: One organism (the parasite) gains, while the other (the host) suffers. The deer tick is a parasite. It attaches to a warmblooded animal and feeds on its blood. Ticks need blood at every stage of their life cycle. They also carry Lyme disease, an illness that can cause joint damage, heart complications, and kidney problems. The tick benefits from eating the animal's blood. Unfortunately, the animal suffers from the loss of blood and nutrients and may get sick.
