Question

Humans have used food processing to preserve the length of time that food can be eaten. Chemicals are added to the food to reduce bacterial growth, produce less toxins, and improve taste. Which best describes the advantages of food processing?

Answer 1

Answer: A control density dependent limiting factor.

A food processing is a process of increasing the shelf life of preventing the growth of bacteria and improving it's taste. A density dependent limiting factor is the one which affects the size and growth of the population depending upon the density of the population. Food is a density dependent limiting factor as it effects and availability are dependent upon the density of the population.

Food processing is advantageous in a sense as it maintains the quality of food hence, is a control over density dependent limiting factor.
