Why is the cost of reproduction different for males and females?

Biology

Hey there :)

The cost of reproduction differs between males and females because:

- The production of sperms is continuous within males. However, for females, the number of eggs produced is very limited, one egg per month. This means only limited number of offsprings. Overall, this makes the eggs more valuable than the sperms.

Hope this helps !

Many foods, for example, bacon and salt cod, are preserved with high concentrations of salt applied to the outside of the meat.
Rama09 [41]

High concentrations of salt can inhibit the growth of bacteria by causing the bacteria to shrink because water leaves the bacterial cell.

<h3>What is a Hypertonic solution?</h3>

This is defined as a type of solution which has a large amount of particles which are dissolved thereby making it have a high concentration.

High concentrations of salt applied to the outside of the meat means it is hypertonic and therefore causes the bacteria to shrink because water molecule leaves the cells thereby destroying their structure preventing metabolic reactions from occurring which leads to their death.
