mezya [45]
<span>The US government limits the use of certain pesticides through laws passed in the Endangered Species Protection Program because some pesticides can harm non-targeted species. They can potentially not just kill the critters they are after but also kill other species that are so low in population it could wipe them out entirely. This helps preserve them and protect them in the hopes that we can find a way to increase their population.</span>

How does decreasing the temperature when food is refrigerated slow decomposition and bacterial growth
juin [17]

Answer:

Low temperatures slow down chemical reactions, the action of enzymes, and delay or inhibit the growth and activity of microorganisms. The lower the temperature, the slower the chemical reactions, enzymatic action and bacterial growth will be.

Explanation:

Refrigeration consists of keeping the products at low temperatures, but above their freezing temperature. Refrigeration prevents the growth of microorganisms that can withstand temperatures above 45º C and many that can survive temperatures ranging from 15 to 45º C. If we lower the storage temperature of perishable foods, we will be able to significantly reduce the speed of reproduction of the vast majority of microorganisms, which cause decomposition and generate possible diseases in consumers. Refrigeration decelerates the metabolism of organic matter until it stops almost completely when we reach -18 ° C (international conservation standard for most frozen products), in addition to achieving partial or total inhibition of altering processes in food, such as certain enzymatic reactions or the metabolic degradation of proteins, thus delaying the decomposition of these.
