A glove must be applied in addition to a bandage
A) Hypertonic environment
B) Lower pH
C) Depletion of nutrients
D) Lower osmotic pressure
Answer:
A) Hypertonic environment
Explanation:
A hypertonic environment or solution contains more solute than solvents, that is, the solution in the environment has more dissolved particles, such as salt or sugar. Microorganisms are unlikely to survive in a hypertonic solution as water would be drawn out of the ells of the mircoorganisms, causing their cells to shrink.
Salts and sugars are used in preserving foods as they create a hypertonic environment that is unfavorable to bacteria and fungi that cause food spoilage.
The questions I ask myself are
1. Is it on wikipedia? Obviously if it is don't take the advice
2. Who is the source written by? A doctor or someone who just googled symptoms?
3. When was it written? Medicine is always changing so the data could be out of date.
4. Is it from a .net .com .org .edu? Some are more reliable than others. You wouldn't want to listen to a . com as much as a .org because organizations are better than a community.
5. Does it make sense? Can you go to a doctor and not sound silly?
