<em>Temperature of food storage during processing. </em>

<em>Humidity of the storage environment </em>

<em>Presence of gases, such as CO2, during packaging </em>

<em>Preservatives, such as salt and sugar </em>

<em>Handling of food by manufacturers </em>

<u>Internal Factors: </u>

<em>pH of the food </em>

<em>Presence of antimicrobial compounds </em>

<em>Nutrient content (Such as vitamins and minerals) </em>

1.what are the characteristics of bacteria
qwelly [4]
#1: Bacteria are like eukaryotic cells in that they have cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a plasma membrane. Features that distinguish a bacterial cell from a eukaryotic cell include the circular DNA of the nucleoid, the lack of membrane-bound organelles, the cell wall of peptidoglycan, and flagella. #2: Archaea have more complex RNA polymerases than Bacteria, similar to Eucarya. Unlike bacteria, archaea cell walls do not contain peptidoglycan. Archaea have different membrane lipid bonding from bacteria and eukarya. There are genetic differences. #10: Bacteria are classified into 5 groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrios) or corkscrew (spirochaetes). They can exist as single cells, in pairs, chains or clusters. #12: Bacteria reproduce .In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two (replicates). Each daughter cell is a clone of the parent cell. #13: Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that can cause disease. ... One of the bacterial diseases with the highest disease burden is tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which kills about 2 million people a year, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. Infection with a pathogen does not necessarily lead to disease. Infection occurs when viruses, bacteria, or other microbes enter your body and begin to multiply.Pathogenic microbes challenge the immune system in many ways. Viruses make us sick by killing cells or disrupting cell function. #14: Antibiotics work by affecting things that bacterial cells have but human cells don't. For example, human cells do not have cell walls, while many types of bacteria do. The antibiotic penicillin works by keeping a bacterium from building a cell wall. HOPE I HELPED I Don’t NO #11

Why is the sarcoplasmic reticulum. How does it aid in the stimulation of muscle contraction?
Mandarinka [93]
Activation of muscle contraction could be a speedy event that's initiated by electrical activity within the surface membrane and transversal (T) tubules. This can be followed by unharness of metal<span> from the inner membrane system, the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
