Question 12

9

Why can dehydrated food be stored for a long time without worry of it being contaminated by bacteria?

Answer 12

9

Dehydrated food has almost all the water removed, so bacteria cannot survive to grow and reproduce.

Question 13

Answer 13

10

Salt reduces bacterial growth and reproduction.

Question 14

11

When you store food for a long time, why does covering it reduce the amunt of bacterial contamination?

Answer 14

Bacteria can be introduced onto food or liquid by dust particles in the air. Covering the food keeps the dust particles off, preventing the addition of new bacteria onto the food.

Answer 15

12

Protozoa

Question 16

13

Are there any pathogenic organisms in kingdom Protista?

Answer 16

13

Yes

Question 17

14

Why are decomposers essential to creation?

Answer 17

14
Decomposers recycle dead matter in creation. Without them, there would be no way that the materials in dead organisms could be used again by living organisms.

Question 18

15

Are all members of kingdom Fungi made of many cells? If not, give an example of a single-celled member of kingdom Fungi.

Answer 18

14

NO yeast is a single-celled fungus.
