3. Bacteria and fungi are decomposers, and are responsible for making food rot. Our ancestors preserved food by heavily salting
meat and fish, and making jelly "preserves" by adding lots of
sugar to fruit. Why does this work?

answer: a) a compound microscope has a greater magnification ability than a simple microscope.

explanation:

1. the energy lost to disorder metabolism     -entropy

2. related to or possessing motion potential     -kinetic

3. all of the chemical reactions in an organism required for maintenance of the processes of life entropy     -metabolism

4. possible; ability to go into action or perform work kinetic     -potential

5. the study of energy and its transformations thermodynamics     -thermodynamics

meiosis is the correct answer
