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 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 kind of authority does our elected government officials exercise?​
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Depending upon the country and community in which you live, the authority exercised by elected officials is defined by formal rules and informal norms of behavior that apply in that jurisdiction. Authority is the willing compliance, almost automatic, with dictates from figures to whom we grant that authority. The formal rules limiting government officials’ authority should protect citizens from abuses of that authority but informal norms may sometimes allow elected officials to get away with actions that violate those rules or, at least, bend them to their own purposes.

ANTONII [103]
This is possible because when a star dies, it basically expands to its maximum (explodes). Therefore, the materials of the exploded star mix with the primeval hydrogen of the Universe. Later, other stars are formed out of this mixture. Thats also how the sun was formed. :)
