High concentrations of salt can inhibit the growth of bacteria by causing the bacteria to shrink because water leaves the bacterial cell.

<h3>What is a Hypertonic solution?</h3>

This is defined as a type of solution which has a large amount of particles which are dissolved thereby making it have a high concentration.

High concentrations of salt applied to the outside of the meat means it is hypertonic and therefore causes the bacteria to shrink because water molecule leaves the cells thereby destroying their structure preventing metabolic reactions from occurring which leads to their death.

Answer:

hippocampal place

Explanation:

A type of cell that fires when rats are in a specific location as opposed to some other locations are known as place cells.

Generally, place cells are specially shaped neurons whose origin is the hippocampus. These neurons fire or become more active when animals are in certain locations in its environment, as opposed to their overall environment.

The cells are from regions CA1 and CA3 of the hippocampus and collectively act as a cognitive representation of these locations where they are limited to firing. The locations where the neurons are limited to firing are referred to as place fields.

Hence,<u> the cells found in the rat as shown by the illustration are referred to as the place cells whose origin is the hippocampus.</u>
