Platelets (prevent blood loss) and white blood cells (fight infection)
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
3 0

The question says that the person got a cut on her arm. The cut on the arm causes the damage to the blood vessels and may cause bleeding.

In this case, the blood needs to be clotted. The clotting of the blood is carried out by the platelets. Hence, the platelets would be functioning in higher amount than the normal.

Also, the cuts expose the inner layer of the skin, which is not protected for infections. Hence, the exposed skin is prone to infection. In this case, the white blood cells become active to prevent the infection process.

How does decreasing the temperature when food is refrigerated slow decomposition and bacterial growth
juin [17]

Answer:

Low temperatures slow down chemical reactions, the action of enzymes, and delay or inhibit the growth and activity of microorganisms. The lower the temperature, the slower the chemical reactions, enzymatic action and bacterial growth will be.

Explanation:

Refrigeration consists of keeping the products at low temperatures, but above their freezing temperature. Refrigeration prevents the growth of microorganisms that can withstand temperatures above 45º C and many that can survive temperatures ranging from 15 to 45º C. If we lower the storage temperature of perishable foods, we will be able to significantly reduce the speed of reproduction of the vast majority of microorganisms, which cause decomposition and generate possible diseases in consumers. Refrigeration decelerates the metabolism of organic matter until it stops almost completely when we reach -18 ° C (international conservation standard for most frozen products), in addition to achieving partial or total inhibition of altering processes in food, such as certain enzymatic reactions or the metabolic degradation of proteins, thus delaying the decomposition of these.
