Explanation:

The DNA could be dried -through the process of lyophilization- or stored, as a precipitate of ethanol, in liquid nitrogen (temperatures below -80 degrees Celsius). The aim is to reduce water in the stored samples as much as possible because the water can be involved in natural hydrolytic reactions (depurination, depyrimidination, deamination, and hydrolytic cleavage) that could degrade the nucleic acids of the DNA.

If the DNA is stored while being used regularly it is not advisable to store it as a precipitate of ethanol. It should be stored in aqueous form but in a slightly alkaline pH of about 8.5 to prevent acid-catalysed degradation processes.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Emulsifier

Explanation:

Emulsifier are the chemical additives which are required to breaking up fats or lipids globules into much smaller emulsion droplets.

An emulsifier consist of one oil-friendly and one water-friendly end. When an emulsifier added with fat or lipid, the emulsifier face towards the oil/water or air/water interface reduces the surface tension to make emulsion more stable.

Emulsification of fat makes the food easy to absorbed by small intestine.

Hence, the correct answer is "Emulsifier ".
