General Science Questions

To reduce the risk of bacterial contamination, many foods must be stored in the refrigerator and thus kept below 5 degrees Celsius. These foods are often classified as ‘high-risk foods’ and include – meat, poultry, dairy, seafood, eggs, smallgoods and cooked rice and pasta. This also refers to ready-to-eat foods that have high-risk foods as ingredients and include – casseroles, quiche, pasta salad, pizza, sandwiches and many cakes.

By keeping these high-risk foods under 5 degrees Celsius it stops them from entering the ‘danger-zone’ – temperatures between 5 degrees Celsius and 60 degrees Celsius. The danger-zone is the temperature zone which provides bacteria with the perfect environment to rapidly grow and multiply to numbers that cause food poisoning.

Kingdom is the smallest level of classification.

The level of classification from largest to smallest is :

* Domain

* Kingdom

* Phylum

* Class

* Order

* Family

* Genus

* Species

Plant cell walls are mostly made up of the molecule cellulose. Cellulose is a polysaccharide, a complex sugar made of long chains of glucose.

The cell wall must be made of thick and strong material as it provides the structural shape of the plant and protection from insects and microorganisms.

The nutrient which provides the maximum energy is Fat. It provides the energy of 9 calories/gram.

Climatology is a study of climate which is subspecialty of environmental science studies.
