Some fish have a bacterium named Edwardsiella tarda growing in them.
Edwardsiella tarda can kill fish by infecting their blood, which normally has
a neutral pH.
Ceviche is a dish that often uses fish as one of the ingredients. To prepare
ceviche, the fish, along with other ingredients, is soaked in lemon juice,
which has a pH around 2.5. The fish is not cooked using heat.
If the fish used in ceviche are contaminated with the organism
Edwardsiella tarda, you might be afraid of getting sick from eating ceviche.
However, the addition of lemon juice will prevent anyone from getting ill
from consuming Edwardsiella tarda.
Based on your understanding of the function of enzymes, explain why the
use of lemon juice in ceviche will prevent Edwardsiella tarda from causing
an infection,
The level of omega-3 fatty in a certain brand of fish oil capsule has been disputed. A chemist designed a study involving collecting fish oil capsules of the brand and doing the analysis. The fish oil capsule is the analyte, and the omega-3 fatty acid is the sample.
