Salts and sugars work to preserve foods by creating a

Biology
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]4 years ago
7 0

Answer: Hypertonic Environment

Explanation:

The salt solution and sugar solution is used for the process of food preservation as the bacteria and microorganism are not able to grow in such conditions that is being created by the solution.

The amount of the solute is more and the solution is less concentrated. The bacteria cell has less solutes and more solvent.

As per osmosis the water from the salt or sugar solution moves out from bacterial cell shrinks and dies.

This is how the bacterial cell dies and the food is prevented from spoilage.

You may want to know that the bacteria which used to photosynthesise , after they have been engulfed by an eukaryotic cell , they evolved into Chloroplasts .
However for the bacteria which used to respire , they have evolved into mitochondria.

Hope this helps :) Good Luck !

List and explain the 3 paths natural selection can take.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

1. Stabilizing Selection  

2. Directional Selection  

3. Disruptive Selection  

Explanation:

Stabilizing Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when there are selective pressures working against two extremes of a trait and therefore the intermediate or “middle” trait is selected for. If we look at a distribution of traits in the population, it is noticeable that a standard distribution is followed:

Example:  For a plant, the plants that are very tall are exposed to more wind and are at risk of being blown over. The plants that are very short fail to get enough sunlight to prosper. Therefore, the plants that are a middle height between the two get both enough sunlight and protection from the wind.

Directional Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of one extreme of a trait. Therefore when looking at a distribution of traits in a population, a graph tends to lean more to one side:

Example: Giraffes with the longest necks are able to reach more leaves to each. Selective pressures will work in the advantage of the longer neck giraffes and therefore the distribution of the trait within the population will shift towards the longer neck trait.

Disruptive Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait. This type of selection is not as common. When looking at a trait distribution, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle as such:

Example: An area that has black, white and grey bunnies contains both black and white rocks. Both the traits for white and black will be favored by natural selection since they both prove useful for camouflage. The intermediate trait of grey does not prove as useful and therefore selective pressures act against the trait.

motikmotik

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The process of photosynthesis release oxygen from the plant which is used by the organism on earth during cellular respiration.

The oxygen released by the plants is formed through the splitting of water molecules as a result of the transfer of electrons through the electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane during the light-dependent reaction.

Since the released oxygen is the result of the light-dependent reaction and not the light-independent reaction or Calvin cycle where heavy oxygen isotope is utilized in the cycle.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

What type of biomolecule contains the code for making helicase?
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

DNA

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is known as the hereditary material of cells. It carries information for coding all type of proteins in the body.

As helicases are proteins, the genetic code from which they are to be made would be present in a specific sequence on part of DNA. This code would be transcribed and mRNA will be formed. After this, the mRNA will be translated and modified into a helicase enzyme.
