Anastaziya [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Normally sterilizing food using radiation does not induce radioactivity but sometimes it may change the taste, texture of the food and it may also destroy the nutrients. radiation is used to kill the harmful bacteria and to increase the shelf life. when the radiation is very energetic it alters the food structure but it does not make it radioactive. To become radioactive one has to make a nucleus unstable. ionizing radiation normally cannot do this. FDA has established maximum energy levels for radiation to prevent the treated foods from becoming radioactive. The energy levels of the rays are too low to induce radioactivity in the food. So there is no harm in consuming treated foods.

Use the following information when answering the following question In 1668, Francesco Redi performed a series of experiments on
Temka [501]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a. Maggots do not arise spontaneously, but from eggs laid by adult flies.

Explanation:

  • In the given experiment,
  1. The meat in the open jars can be directly accessed by the adult flies for consumption. While accessing the food, some of these adult flies can lay egg into the jars which hatch to give rise to new maggots.
  2. The meat in jars closed by a gauze is exposed to the air but cannot be accessed by the adult flies as the flies are prevented from entering into the jar due to the presence of the gauze. As a result of this the flies do not consume meat, nor do they lay eggs and so no maggots will appear in this jar.
