A food handler <u>cannot identify</u> if food has been contaminated with pathogens by its smell, look and taste.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Pathogens are the bacteria that can be present in the food that causes food poisoning when induced. These bacteria generally doesn't affect the taste, smell, or appearance of a food. Only through the use of microscope you can identify if a certain food is contaminated by bacteria.

However, as a general rule of food safety, any food that is left at the "Danger zone" for more than 2 hours must be discarder.

  • Danger zone (40 ℉ - 140 ℉) is the range of temperature that is

        very suitable for harmful bacteria to grow rapidly.

  • Maximum holding time of food at the Danger Zone (40 ℉ - 140 ℉) is 2 hours. After 2 hours it is expected that bacteria has grown to unsafe levels.
  • Keep hot food hot—at or above 140 °F. Place cooked food in chafing dishes, preheated steam tables, warming trays, and/or slow cookers.
  • Keep cold food cold—at or below 40 °F. Place food in containers on ice.
  • Freezer temperature must be kept ideally at below -0.4 °F .
  • Chiller must be kept at or below 41 °F .

Lesson 4: Muscle Fibers Muscles Essay<br> I dont have time to start can somebody help me!!?

Here is an example it is a good way to help you for your essay.

Our muscle tissue consists of fibers (cells) that are highly specialized for the active generation of force for our muscle contraction. Muscle tissue provides motion, maintenance of our posture, and heat production. On the basis of certain structural and functional characteristics, the muscle tissue that our body has is classified into three types: cardiac, smooth and skeletal.

Cardiac Muscle

Cardiac muscle tissue forms the bulk of the wall of the heart. Like skeletal muscle tissue, it is striated. Unlike skeletal muscle tissue its contraction is usually not under conscious control and is classed as involuntary.

Smooth Muscle

Smooth muscle tissue is located in the walls of hollow structures such as blood vessels, the stomach, intestines, and the bladder. Smooth muscle fibers are usually involuntary, and they are non-striated (smooth). Smooth muscle tissue, like skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy (growth).

Skeletal Muscle

Skeletal muscle tissue is attached to our bones. It is striated; that is, the fibers (cells) contain alternating light and dark bands (striations) that are perpendicular to the long axes of the fibers. Skeletal muscle tissue can be made to contract or relax by conscious control (voluntary).

All skeletal muscle fibers are not alike in structure or function. For example, skeletal muscle fibers vary in colour depending on their content of Myoglobin (Myoglobin is found in muscle tissue, where it binds oxygen, helping to provide extra oxygen to release energy to power muscular contractions.) Skeletal muscle fibers contract with different velocities, depending on their ability to split Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Faster contracting fibers have greater ability to split ATP. In addition, skeletal muscle fibers vary with respect to the metabolic processes they use to generate ATP. They also differ in terms of the onset of fatigue. On the basis of various structural and functional characteristics, skeletal muscle fibers are classified into three types: Type I fibers, Type II B fibers and type II A fibers.

Type I Fibers

These fibers, also called slow twitch or slow oxidative fibers, contain large amounts of Myoglobin, many mitochondria and many blood capillaries. Type I fibers are red, split ATP at a slow rate, have a slow contraction velocity, very resistant to fatigue and have a high capacity to generate ATP by oxidative metabolic processes. Such fibers are found in large numbers in the postural muscles of the neck.

Type II A Fibers

These fibers, also called fast twitch or fast oxidative fibers, contain very large amounts of Myoglobin, very many mitochondria and very many blood capillaries. Type II A fibers are red, have a very high capacity for generating ATP by oxidative metabolic processes, split ATP at a very rapid rate, have a fast contraction velocity and are resistant to fatigue. Such fibers are infrequently found in humans.

Type II B Fibers

These fibers, also called fast twitch or fast glycolytic fibers, contain a low content of Myoglobin, relatively few mitochondria, relatively few blood capillaries and large amounts glycogen. Type II B fibers are white, geared to generate ATP by anaerobic metabolic processes, not able to supply skeletal muscle fibers continuously with sufficient ATP, fatigue easily, split ATP at a fast rate and have a fast contraction velocity. Such fibers are found in large numbers in the muscles of the arms.

The system regulates the body's metabolism, growth, and functions of the sexual organs.
lubasha [3.4K]
The Endocrine System regulates the body's metabolism, growth, and functions of the sexual organs. It consists of glands that secrete hormones directly to the circulatory system that are carried throughout distant target organs. This system is responsible for controlling the chemical functions of cells, tissues, and organs through the secretion of different types of hormones. 

The Endocrine Systems includes the different glands (e.g. adrenal, parathyroid, thyroid, and pituitary), ovaries, pancreas, and testes.
