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.

How Can We Taste and Smell? Place in order the steps involved for flavors on the tongue to create a perceptio in the brain.1) Ta
Luda [366]

2) Chemical substances in food dissolve in saliva  

Substances form the food need to be dissolved and and a little bit degraded (by teeth and some of the enzymes in the mouth) in order to react chemically with taste receptors

1) Taste receptors are stimulated  

Taste receptors are located in the oral cavity, usually on the tongue but also pharynx and the epiglottis (receptors are placed on taste buds within papilla on tongue)

3) Signals are sent to the thalamus by the facial nerve  

From the ventral posterior medial nucleus in thalamus sensation is projected to the gustatory cortex

4)The gustatory cortex processes taste perception

The sensation of taste includes: sweetness, sourness, saltiness, bitterness, and umami

Modern taxonomists primarily use which of the following to classify living organisms
-Dominant- [34]

The modern taxonomists classified organisms on the general basis of evolutionary, morphological, and genetic traits

Explanation:

  • Evolutionary relationships provides the phylogeny of evolutionary ancestors and descendants  
  • Homologous structures are structures which look the same but perform different functions , like bones of a human leg compared to bones on a bird's wing
  • Analogous structures have different structure but same function like an insect’s and a bird’s wing
  • Embryo developmental pattern and similar relationships
  • Similarities in DNA and protein sequencing in related organisms

The above basis provided modern taxonomists to classify organisms according to the various disciplines like Genetics, Cytology, Embryology, Physiology, Anatomy and many more.
