Sequoyah (ᏍᏏᏉᏯ Ssiquoya, as he signed his name,[2][3] or ᏎᏉᏯ Se-quo-ya, as his name is often spelled today in Cherokee) (c.1770—1843), named in English George Gist or George Guess, was a Cherokee silversmith. In 1821 he completed his independent creation of a Cherokee syllabary, making reading and writing in Cherokee possible. This was one of the very few times in recorded history that a member of a pre-literate people created an original, effective writing system[1][4] (another example being Shong Lue Yang). After seeing its worth, the people of the Cherokee Nation rapidly began to use his syllabary and officially adopted it in 1825. Their literacy rate quickly surpassed that of surrounding European-American settlers.[1]

When food has been salted A. water diffuses out of microorganisms causing them to shrivel. B. water diffuses into microorganisms

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

C) salt enters microorganisms causing them to dry out and shrivel

Explanation:

Salt drains water out of cells through osmosis. Basically, water moves across a cell membrane, since it tries to equalize the salt concentration on both sides of the membrane. The more salt you add, the more water will be removed from a cell, therefore for it will be harder for it to stay alive or reproduce.

High concentration of salt kills microorganisms that decay food - and eventually may cause disease. 20% salt concentration kills bacteria. Lower concentrations avoid to a certain extent microbial growth until you get down to the cells' salinity of the cells - which might cause the opposite: providing ideal reproducing conditions.
