Cholesterol. Needs to be limited. High level of cholesterol increases risk of atherosclerosis (narrowing of arteries) , heart attack, stroke . transient ischaemic attack(mini stroke) and peripheral arterial disease. Saturated fat. This is fat consisting of molecules that have no double bonds between carbon molecules because they are saturated with hydrogen. Saturated fats raise the level of cholesterol and must be eaten in moderation to avoid this. Salt. A diet that is high in salt can cause high blood pressure. Cutting down on salt lowers blood pressure which means risk of having a stroke or developing heart disease is reduced.

Cultures of a bacterial species were incubated on the shelf of a refrigerator, out on a lab bench top, on the shelf of a 37°C in

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

D. Psychrophile

Explanation:

Psychrophiles or cryophiles are a type of extremophiles i.e. they live in extreme environment. They grow well in low temperatures ranging from -20 to +10 degree Celsius.

Here, the bacteria was incubated at different temperatures. It did not show growth at standard incubation temperature of 37°C which indicates that it might be an extremophile preferring either very hot or very cold environment. But it also did not show growth at 50°C which means that it does not survive well at high temperature.

Lab bench top has generally colder surface compared to the surrounding environment and a little growth was observed there which indicates that this bacteria might require cold temperature for growth. The result was finally confirmed with abundant growth observed inside refrigerator which is only possible if it is a psychrophile.
