Green olives may be preserved in brine, which is a 20-30% salt solution. How does this method prevent contamination by microorga

nisms? Green olives may be preserved in brine, which is a 20-30% salt solution. How does this method prevent contamination by microorganisms? High salt concentrations raise the ph, thus inhibiting the process of glycolysis. Bacteria can't survive in a hypertonic solution because they lose water. High salt concentrations lower the ph, thus inhibiting the process of glycolysis. Bacterial cell walls are shriveled up by salt, causing the cell to burst.

The correct answer is Bacteria can't survive in a hypertonic solution because they lose water.

The 20-30% salt solution is hypertonic as Compared to the bacterial concentration of salt. In this case, the bacteria present in the solution would lose water. Due to excess loss of water, the bacteria would eventually shrink and die. Hence, green olives preserved in the brine would be safe from microbial attack.

Which of the following factors might cause checkpoint genes to interrupt cell division? Check all that apply. Neurological signa
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Neurological signals sent from fear responses in an organism tell the cell to stop. The cell's DNA has been damaged somehow. The cell's DNA was replicated incorrectly.

Explanation:

All the three options given can cause checkpoint genes to interrupt cell division.

Checkpoint genes are transcription genes that control cell cycle and sense defects during cells processes like DNA replication, segregation e.t.c and create response till the defects is repaired in the DNA. The important of checkpoint is that it ensure enough nutrients are available to support for division, ensure that the DNA has not been damaged, ensure that cells DNA is copied correctly and make sure cells have enough RNA for their protein synthesis.

Checkpoints genes can interrupt cell division if the dna is damaged, Dna is copied incorrectly and neurological signal sent from fear responses in an organisms tell the cells to stop.
