The shortest length of time required to kill all test microbes at a specified temperature is the thermal death __________ whereas the lowest temperature required to kill all microbes in a sample within 10 minutes is the thermal death _________.
time; point
window; point
point; time
time; temperature
When a population of bacteria gets killed due to exposure to high temperatures then this is termed as thermal death.
The time taken to kill a specific microbe at a specific temperature is termed as the thermal death time. The length of the time taken depends on the nature of the target microbe and hence, varies from one to another.
The lowest temperature that will kill all the microbes in a sample within ten minutes is defined as the thermal death point. The temperature at which the microbes get killed within 10 minutes also varies from one microbe to another.
Thermal death results in the disruption of the cell membranes of the microbes and hence can kill the microbes.
Glucose is then burned in her body for energy. One of the body parts that needs this energy is the heart, which beats due to electrical impulses. A byproduct of this glucose breakdown is the heat that warms her body and is later released.
You could use the fossil record to help explain the evolution of a species by watching how it aged, what it ate, how it breed and where it lived along with a million of other things. It could have lived in the 20 below freezing and then you find that same fossil in the warmest place in the world it shows that the species either adapted or possibly had an offspring that could handle the high temperatures.
