<u>Answer</u>: Option b false

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Refrigerating or freezing foods <em>does not kill all or most of the bacteria</em> in the food as lowering the temperatures of the food only renders the microbes present in it <em>inactive</em>. As soon as the food is brought back to normal temperature, the microorganisms present in it become active again.
  • The advantage of freezing food is only limited to the fact that once the food is frozen, all the microbes be it fungus, bacteria etc. become inactive and do not multiply and thus, freezing prolongs the shelf life of food, however once this food is thawed the micro organisms again become active  and start multiplying and can easily cause food borne illness.
  • So, the only way to kill the micro organisms present in the food is to cook the food to correct temperatures and not freezing.

How does the structure of the small intestine help it to perform its function?
Mumz [18]

The correct answer is:

D .Villi in the small intestine have thin-walled capillaries to make the absorption of nutrients more efficient.

Explanation:

The small intestines are well adjusted for absorbing nutrients during digestion by being very long, having villi and microvilli that enlarge surface area, using muscular contractions to move and mix food, and raising and housing digestive enzymes and bile that aid the breakdown of food. The inner surface of the small intestine is not flat but thrown into circular folds, which not only enhance surface area but aid in preparing the ingesta by acting as baffles. Villi: the mucosa makes multitudes of ridges which project into the lumen and are satisfied with epithelial cells.
