Prior to the invention of refrigeration, meat was often preserved by soaking it in brine (a solution of water with a high concen

tration of salt) to kill any microorganisms that might have tried to use the meat as their own food source. Which of the following BEST explains how a brine solution could be lethal to those microorganisms? Water would move into the cells of the microorganisms by osmosis causing it to swell and burst. The salt would move into the cells of the microorganisms by facilitated diffusion causing the membrane to become rigid and less permeable. The salt would be pulled from the cells of the microorganisms by active transport removing necessary nutrients and destroying the cells. Water would move out of the cells of the microorganisms by osmosis and the cytoplasm would become dehydrated, killing the cells.

Water would move out of the cells of the microorganisms by osmosis and the cytoplasm would become dehydrated, killing the cells.
The brine is a hypertonic solution, thereby "pulling" the water out of the bacterial cells.

Difference between paw paw and tomato​
choli [55]

Answer:

❥ Ripe pawpaws give off a wonderful fruity aroma. If the pawpaw does change color, it will likely turn a lighter shade of green, possibly with some yellowing. A more reliable indicator is feeling. The fruit will begin to feel softer, much as a peach or avocado.

❥ Your ripe tomato will give slightly to the touch. It shouldn't be soft but rather a little tender. Because tomatoes ripen from the inside out, this is a good indicator that it's ready.
