7 0

Answer:

a) Humans depend upon other organisms for food and oxygen

Explanation:

Biodiversity refers to the richness in the species of organisms on Earth i.e the variety of biological organisms on the Earth. The importance of biodiversity cannot be overemphasized because of our dependence on the sustainability of biodiversity in our ecosystems.

The loss of biodiversity, which is becoming rampant by the day, is a major concern to us because we humans depend upon other organisms for food and oxygen. Humans are strictly heterotrophic and hence are reliant on variety of organisms for food. Plants also release oxygen gas via their photosynthetic process, which is key to our survival as a population.

we already genetically engineer our plants so they are stonger, faster, and produce better (better looking, better tasting, etc) fruit/food.

we might possible be able to genetically engineer humand or babies to controll the traits we want  (do you want your baby to be good at this)

basically genetic engineering is normally used to change theh current state of something so that it is more suited for the job that you intend for it

Explain why the absence of bacteria in the food does not necessarily mean the food is safe to eat.
svlad2 [7]

Even if the bacteria is absent from the food, several fungi, mycotoxins, protozoa me be present in the food.

  • Foods are rarely sterile and often contain natural chemical substances. They contain a diverse population of microbes that come from many sources of the natural micro flora.
  • From the time of harvest to the time of preparation and consumption, microbes contaminate the food.
  • A food's microflora is primarily influenced by the type of microbe, the features of the food, contamination, and the conditions during preparation and storage.
  • Foods may contain bacteria, fungus, protozoa, algae, viruses, and other microbial species.
  • The absence of bacteria does not guarantee that the food is safe to consume because there may still be enterotoxins, mycotoxins, fungi, and other difficult-to-identify microorganisms present.
