Answer:

The addition of sugar and salt to the food material result in the increase in the osmotic pressure, which help to destroy the bacteria and help in the preservation of food.

Explanation:

addition of salt or sugar help to preserve food because

  • by adding salt to the food material it absorbs the water and high concentration of salt inhibit the growth of microbe and if the water is not present in food bacteria will not able to reproduce by this way addition of salt help in the preservation of food.
  • by adding sugar to the food material it reduces the water content which prevent the food from microbial spoilage.if the sugar concentration is high ,the bacteria to lose water and if enough water is not present bacteria will not able to grow

thus by this way addition of salt or sugar help preserve food.

A student conducted an experiment to test whether talking to plants would help them to grow faster. The student talked to one gr
timurjin [86]
The answer I believe would be talking to plants may or may not helps plants grow faster because the amount of water given was likely different for each group. I say this because there are more than one manipulated variables. (Each experiment should only have one manipulated variable to really be able to come to a conclusion) The student wants to see if talking to the plant will help. But the student also used different watering methods. So there was more than one manipulated variable. This can not give a good enough result because we do not know which affected the plant- the talking or the watering method/amount.

Hope this helps!
