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.

Schizocoelic development

The coelom is a fluid-filled body cavity, where the internal organs are suspended in. It is the cavity between the wall of the body and the digestive tract.

In the schizocoelic development of the embryo, the coelom, called the schizocoel, develops as a split in the mesoderm. The outer layer of the mesoderm attaches with the ectoderm to form a body's musculature, while the inner layer attaches with the endoderm to form the wall of the digestive tract. 

This type of development is commonly found in annelids, arthropods, and mollusks.

Answer;

A bottleneck effect


Explanation;

When only a few individuals survive unfavorable times, thereby losing the majority of genotypes in the next generation, it is called a bottleneck effect.

It occurs when there is a disaster of some sort that reduces a population to a small handful, which rarely represents the actual genetic makeup of the initial population.

Explanation:

Since scientific terms are harder to understand, some common prefixes (word added to beginning of another) , suffixes (word added at the end) and root words can be used to correctly guess the meaning of a biological term. Most of the terms have been derived from ancient Greek and Roman words.

  1. The prefix omni- means all. E.g, an omnivore is a type of animal that eats both plants and animals.
  2. Prim- is a prefix that means first or foremost. In some cases, it also means basic or fundamental. E.g the primal instincts of any animal are its basic and innate characteristics.
  3. Vor is a suffix that mean eat or devour. E.g, carnivore is an animal that eats meat.
  4. Oligo is a prefix that means few or little. E.g, oligosaccharide is a carbohydrate containing few sugar molecules.
  5. The prefix sub- means both under and below. E.g, subcutaneous means under the layer of the skin.
  6. The prefix sub- means both under and below. E.g, subcutaneous means under the layer of the skin.
  7. The prefix de- means remove, away from or down. E.g to degrade means to break down or break away.
  8. The prefix de- means remove, away from or down. E.g to degrade means to break down or break away.
  9. The prefix de- means remove, away from or down. E.g to degrade means to break down or break away.
  10. The prefix hydro means water. E.g, hydroelectric power is energy derived from water.
  11. Carn is a prefix that means flesh or meat. E.g, a carnivore is an animal that eats meat.
  12. The prefix zoo or zoa defines an animal or of animal origin. E.g, zoology i.e. the study of animals.
  13. The suffix, -cide means to kill or destroy. E.g, fungicide is a chemical that kills fungi.
  14. Auto is a prefix that means self. E.g, autophagy is the pahgocytosis or engulfing of the body cells by other cells of the body.
  15. Inter is a prefix that means between. E.g, intercellular means between the cells.
  16. The prefix heter or hetero means different or other. E.g, heterogeneous is a type of mixture that contains different types of elements.
  17. Troph is a suffix that means feed or nutrition or nourishment. E.g, autotroph is an organism that produces its food by itself.
  18. Calor means heat. E.g, calorimeter is an instrument that measures heat or change in heat.
  19. Ultra is a prefix that mean beyond. E.g, ultrasonics are sound waves that are beyond the audible hearing range.
  20. Intra is a prefix that means within. E.g, intracellular means within or in the cell.
  21. Photo is a prefix that means light. E.g, photosynthesis is a process that plants use to make food by capturing light.
  22. Para is a prefix that means beside, near, equal or alongside. E.g parathyroid is a gland near the thyroid gland.
