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.

  • 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

What is true of carbon atoms? (2 points)
Rudiy27
By process of elimination you can find the right answer. We know for a fact that carbon is found in all living organisms. That is why we talk about carbon based life forms. So the first statement cannot be true. You can figure out how many Valence electrons an element has by looking at the group number. The group number of carbon is 4 so the 2nd statement cannot be true. We know that carbon does bond with other elements because it is not a noble gas and therefore must be able to form compounds.
This means the answer must be they can form up to four covalent bonds
