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.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Radiometric dating methods

Explanation:

Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a chronological or specified time scale in which events occurred in archaeology and geology. Absolute dating can be determined by using properties of the atoms that make up materials.

The most common method of absolute dating uses by geologists is radiometric dating methods which is based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon found in the rocks. By comparing the ratio of parent isotope with a known half-life to daughter product in the rock, the age of the rock can be determined.

The carbon-14 isotope is used in radiocarbon dating, but is only useful for measuring recently formed rocks in the geologic past. The decay of Potassium-40 isotope known as potassium-argon (K-Ar) method allows dating of materials that up to 1,000 billion years old.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

A particular population limiting factor or factors must have been removed

Explanation:

The population of the birds must have been kept between 30 and 50 individuals by population limiting factors such as the presence of predators within the community or competition for resources such as food or spaces.

For the population to shoot up to 90 all of a sudden, it may be that one or more of the population limiting factors has been removed from the population. <u>It could be that a major predator has been removed from the community or the competition for food/space is now significantly reduced due to more food/space in the community. </u>
