Foods can be preserved in many ways by slowing or preventing bacterial growth. Which of these methods would not generally inhibit bacterial growth?

#Unit 9. Diversity of Life Forms
  1. Refrigeration: Slows bacterial metabolism and growth.
  2. Closing previously opened containers: Prevents more bacteria from entering, and excludes O2.

  3. Pickling: Creates a pH at which most bacterial enzymes cannot function.
  4. Canning in heavy sugar syrup: Creates osmotic conditions that remove water from most bacterial cells.

In drosophila, Physical forces drive invagination of the ventral furrow. Following statements regarding to this process:

A. The cellularized blastoderm will begin to activate higher levels of myosin in the cells at the ventral midline and preferentially at their apical surface.

B. Epithelial adhesions paired with differential activation of dynein and tissue geometry create mechanical constraints that affect the orientation of actomyosin meshworks.

C. The A/P oriented arrays of myosin in the cells at the ventral midline generate tension along the anterior-posterior axis.

D. The combination of tissue geometry and tension of these anterior-to-posterior meshworks cause the tissue to fold outward at a right angle to the anterior-posterior axis, creating a long and narrow ventral furrow.

In humans, neural tube closure defects occur in about 1 in every 1000 live births. Failure to close the neural tube can result from both genetic and environmental causes. A recent report has demonstrated that zinc deficiency disrupts neural tube closure by:
