Why is vinegar used in food preservation?

Biology
1 answer:
weqwewe [10]3 years ago
3 0
Vinegar is an extremely acidic liquid. Very few microorganisms (ie bacteria and fungus which cause foods to spoil) can survive in such an acidic environment. Among other effects, it can destroy their cell walls, and prevent their own enzymes working (enzymes are extremely pH sensitive). There are a small number of microorgamisms which are adapted to survive in extreme acidity. However, this adaptation prevents them from surviving in more 'normal' environments. Therefore, anything which can survive in the vinegar, will not likely survive on your kitchen surface, and the same is true the other way around. Therefore, as vitually nothing can colonise whatever is in the vinegar, the food will be very effectively preserved. . . . . . . . . . . you can say........................ . . the low pH a nd high acidity of vinegar destroy bacteria

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

A)

global temperature increasing as CO2 concentration increases

Explanation:

Global warming is the progressive increase in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere. Global warming is caused by an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases e.g CO2, chlorofluorocarbons etc. These greenhouse gases, in which carbondioxide is an important example, are capable of trapping heat in order to keep the earth warm.

Howeever, as the concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases increase in the atmosphere, the earth's atmospheric temperature also increases above normal, causing Global warming.

In this case, the science teacher's graph will show that global temperature is increasing as CO2 concentration increases.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Answer in Explanation

Explanation:

Before we proceed to explain the relation between the two, we need to understand what these terms are.

Acidification of the ocean simply refers to an increase in the acidic content of the ocean due to increased level of dissolved carbon iv oxide.

When we talk of climate change, we are talking about the overall and continual change of the atmospheric conditions of the Earth.

The reason why there is a climate change increase is because the atmosphere which is supposed to serve as a sink for green house gases is not serving this purpose and as such there is a retention of the green house gases such as carbon iv oxide within the sun-atmospheric level on the earth.

These green house gases such as carbon iv oxide which does not find a way out of the earth’s atmosphere will be retained in bodies within the earth crust serving as a sink for them. An example of this sink is the ocean which thus takes in the carbon iv oxide which when dissolved increases the acidic content of the ocean causing acidification
