Summary Introduction
To determine:
Ancient and modern staples that result from fermentation.
Introduction:
Fermentation is an anaerobic process, in which simpler substances are formed from the breakdown of complex substances by the action of microbes, such as yeast or bacteria. Fermentation occurs in two types; lactate fermentation and alcoholic fermentation.

- Why might the xiphoid process be missing from the sternum in a set of human remains? a.The remains are from an adult younger than 40 years of age, and the hyaline cartilage does not preserve as well as bone. b.Because the xiphoid process may be broken off if the individual had been given CPR c.Because the xiphoid process shrinks with age d.Because the xiphoid process is small and does not articulate with any other bonesarrow_forwardBarnacles are crustaceans that live in the ocean. Barnacle larvae are motile and secrete a sticky substance that allows them to attach to a suitable substrate. As they mature into sedentary adults, they secrete layers of calcium carbonate that serve as a protective covering. Some barnacles have been known to attach to the sides of whales. This benefits the barnacles in that they are constantly transported to locations with new sources of food. The whales neither benefit nor are harmed by the presence of barnacles. Barnacles follow r selection strategies. How would the interaction between barnacles and whales be described? a) Commensalism b) Competition c) Mutualism d) Parasitismarrow_forwardBarnacles are crustaceans that live in the ocean.
