Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Steel is an alloy that is made up of different metals out of which one is iron. As it is known that iron is easily attracted towards an electromagnet.

So, an electromagnet can be used to divide food cans from soft-drink cans.

On the other hand, an electromagnet is not able to attract any plastic material, glass bottles, aluminium drink cans, paper cardboard etc. Therefore, an electromagnet will not help us to separate out any of these materials.

Hence, we can conclude that an electromagnet can be used in this type of recycling plant to divide food cans from soft-drink cans.

Steel is magnetic, aluminium is not. So the electro magnet would pull only the stell food cans, separating them.

Fungi produce many compounds that humans are able to use medically. how can you account for these compounds?
levacccp [35]
None of those options are correct. 

Fungi produce,naturally, antibiotics that will kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria.
This is useful for them to limit competition in their natural environment but it's also useful for us because it will kill bacteria that cause us infections.

The only thing scientists had to do is isolate that antibiotic.

Some antibiotics that were developed from fungi: penicillin and cephalosporins.
