Spoilage is basically a chemical reaction and chemical reactions take place more slowly if the environment is cooler. Moreover, the microbes are also not very active at lower temperatures and are unable to spoil the food.

Temperature control is the most efficient means of controlling microbial growth. At four degree Celsius, contaminating microbes growth will be hindered as they can not survive at this temperature.

Is a owl a specialists or generalists
Troyanec [42]
The owl is a generalists creature/species because it is able to thrive in a wide variety of environmental conditions and can make use of a variety of different resources (for example, a heterotroph with a varied diet). A specialist species can only thrive in a narrow range of environmental conditions or has a limited diet. Most organisms do not all fit neatly into either group, however. Some species are highly specialized (the most extreme case being monophagy), others less so, while some can tolerate many different environments. In other words, there is a continuum from highly specialized to broadly generalist species.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The factors which remained constant are as follows -

  1. material used as the membrane
  2. amount of substances used
  3. number of trials

The factors which have shown variation are as follows -

  1. molecule size (large starch molecules vs. small glucose molecules)
  2. whether the molecules diffused through the membrane (tubing)

Explanation

Some factors with in the experiments remained constant from the point of starting of the experiment to its end. While some factors were varied to study its impact on the experiment rate of progression or on the final product formed. Thus , out of the following given factors, the ones that remained constant are -

  1. material used as the membrane
  2. amount of substances used
  3. number of trials

The factors which have shown variation are as follows -

  1. molecule size (large starch molecules vs. small glucose molecules)
  2. whether the molecules diffused through the membrane (tubing)
