zavuch27 [327]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Option B, can be used to either sterilize or pasteurize, depending on the dose of radiation

Explanation:

Sterilization by radiation has started since 1895. However, commercial food irradiation plant was installed at Stuttgart, Germany in 1958. In general gamma radiation is used for sterilization purposes which disrupts the sub-atomic particles involved in the formation of the microorganism at an early stage by damaging their genetic material such as DNA or RNA with in their cells. Once the genetic material i.e DNA or RNA is damaged, the cell dies automatically.  

Hence, option B is correct

LH reaches it's peak concentration on the 13th day of the menstrual cycle.

Lipids in a bilayer can diffuse laterally at a relatively fast rate, but \"flip-flop\" from one leaflet to the other very slowly
spin [16.1K]
1)Flippases are proteins able translocate lipids from the outer leaflet( extracellular) to inner leaflet (cytosolic); They are enzymes that depend on ATP to function.
Phospholipid flippases,translocate phospholipids against a concentration gradient.
2)Floppases- move lipids from the inner leaflet (cytosolic) to inner leaflet ( extracellular). Floppases are ABC-transporters that do the opossite of the flippases.

3)scramblases- The activity of scramblases does not require energy (not ATP dependent). Their activation can result in increased symmetry between phospholipids of both leaflets of the lipid bilayer.
Scramblases translocate phosphatidylserine, preventing apoptosis and engulfment by macrophages.

Svetlanka [38]

The correct option is B.

The alimentary canal is the pathway through which ingested foods move from the mouth all through into the anus. At each portion of the canal, different types of chemical reactions take place, which digest the eaten food and prepare the useful part for absorption and the waste part for excretion. In the alimentary canal, the stomach open into the small intestines. The small intestines is the site where the useful part of the nutrients will be absorbed into the system through villi.
