Many foods, for example, bacon and salt cod, are preserved with high concentrations of salt applied to the outside of the meat.

how can high concentrations of salt inhibit the growth of bacteria?

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.

Plants produce carbon dioxide as a product of cellular respiration. But you know that plants release oxygen, not carbon dioxide.
77julia77 [94]
Carbon dioxide is released during respiration but used up during photosynthesis. The reason that plants release oxygen is because the amount of carbon dioxide released by the plants is, for the most part, used in photosynthesis; however, all of the oxygen produced is not used in respiration. Thus, the net outflow of gas from a plant is that of oxygen.

Why are thick or dense smears less likely to provide a good smear preparation for microscopic.
stira [4]

Thick or dense smears less likely to provide a good smear preparation for microscopic because it will diminish the amount of light that can pass through making it difficult to visualize the morphology of single cells under the microscope. Some times the stain can't penetrate all of the bacteria.

<h3 /><h3>What is a microscopic smear?</h3>
  • A smear is a microscopic specimen.
  • A swab or loop, or the edge of another slide, is used to spread the sample to be examined, such as blood or microbial culture, thinly and unevenly across the slide.
  • Smear preparation involves spreading a small amount of sample on a slide and air drying the film before staining and microscopy.
  • The conventional method, blood film method, drop and rest method, and water-wash method are the four types of smearing methods.
  • Smear microscopy entails collecting a biological sample (typically sputum or other clinical material), fixing it thinly on a glass slide, and staining it with a dye that binds specifically to mycobacteria (making them easier to identify under a microscope).
