To answer this question, let us first mention what is food danger zone. Well, this refers to the temperature range in which bacteria grows faster in the food. The range is defined as 30 to 140 degree Fahrenheit or can be converted into 4 to 60 degree Celsius. Going back to the question, the maximum number of hours that a food can be held in the food danger zone is only 2 hours. Beyond this 2  hours, the food is not safe to be eaten and the person who dares to eat this food might get some illness and worst might experienced food poisoning.

The maximum number of hours that food can be held in the food danger is zone is 2 hours. Beyond this, food is suspected to have high amounts of bacteria that may cause illness and is recommended for disposal.

Further Explanation:

The food danger zone is the temperature range between 40°F to 140°F. At these temperatures, bacteria grow more rapidly than at other temperatures. At extremely low and high temperatures, bacteria die, but at the food danger zone, they have the temperature that is most suitable for their growth. Bacteria need food, water, and the proper environmental conditions in order to grow and multiply. At 40°F to 140°F (food danger zone), bacteria multiply quickly, with their number doubling within 20 minutes. At this rate, bacteria levels in the food rise making it unsafe for consumption.

It is recommended, therefore, to keep food at temperatures below or well-above the danger zone. Before serving, cold food must be iced and kept at temperatures equal to or below 40°F and hot food warmed at temperatures above 140°F in warming containers and dishes.

We breathe more quickly and deeply when we exercise. Why does this make sense? Select all that apply. a) Because when we exercis
storchak [24]

Answer:

a) Because when we exercise, we hydrolyze more ATP to ADP and Pi, and O2 is necessary for the hydrolysis, so we increase our intake of oxygen.

c) Because when we exercise, we produce more CO2 and increased ventilation is necessary to rid ourselves of CO2.

d) Because when we exercise, we use more ATP, and additional O2 is necessary to generate sufficient ATP.

Explanation:

During exercise , our body needs more energy in the form of ATP. This ATP comes from break down of food materials in the mitochondria of the cell during cellular respiration. With the addition of oxygen, more ATP is produced during respiration and this ATP is used by the body. With ATP, carbon dioxide is produced as a waste material which can be removed by exhaled out during breathing.

Differentiate 10sinxcosx​
Harman [31]

Answer:

10\,cos\,2x

Explanation:

To differentiate: 10\,sinx\,\,cos x

Solution:

Use product rule: [f(x)g(x)]'=f'(x)g(x)+f(x)g'(x) and the following formulae:

(sinx)'=cosx\,,\,(cosx)'=-sinx

(10\,sinx\,\,cos x)'=10[(sinx)'cosx+(sinx)(cosx)']\\\\=10[cosx\,cosx-sinx\,sinx]\\\\=10[cos^2x-sin^2x]

Use cos^2x-sin^2x=cos2x

(10\,sinx\,cosx)'=10\,cos2x
