Many foods must be refrigerated to prevent spoiling (microbial growth). Explain why honey (which is ∼82% carbohydrate by weight)

resists microbial growth even at room temperature.
Biology
1 answer:
VLD [36.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer;

-Honey contains a considerable amount of sugar (about 82% carbohydrate) and therefore when a microbe (e.g., a fungal spore or bacterium) lands on honey the process of osmosis causes water to be drawn out of the microbe thus blocking its ability to live and proliferate.

Explanation;

Antibiotics are used to kill or inhibit bacteria growth. Honey contains hydrogen peroxide, which may account for some of its antibacterial properties. It also has a high sugar content, which can help stop the growth of certain bacteria.

-Additionally, honey has a low pH level. This works to pull moisture away from bacteria, causing the bacteria to get dehydrated and die off.

Answer:

Energy drives the cycling of matter within and between systems. Energy drives the cycling of matter within and between systems in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration (including anaerobic processes) provide most of the energy for life processes.

If an mRNA strand is 6399 nucleotides long how many amino acids are coded for ( Numeric answer)
sergey [27]

Answer:

If an mRNA strand is 6399 nucleotides long, it will code for 2132 amino acids, as the last triplet is the terminating codon.

Explanation:

Codons are found in the RNA chain and are made up of nucleotides trios, whose specific sequence determines the genetic code.

There are 4 nitrogenous bases in RNA - Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Uracil - which when combined in trios give rise to 64 possible codon combinations that code for 20 amino acids, so an amino acid can be formed by more than one codon.

Determining how many amino acids are encoded according to the amount of nucleotides in the mRNA would be as easy as <u>dividing the number of nucleotids in the chain by 3</u>, but considering that the last codon is not taken into account, since it is the termination codon.

  • Amino acids = (amount of nitrogenous bases in mRNA / 3) - 1
  • Amino acids = (6399 / 3) - 1
  • Amino acids = 2133 - 1 = 2132
