Question

select the correct answer. why is freezing a good way to preserve food? a. low temperatures destroy cell walls of vegetables b. low temperatures decrease the nutrient density of food c. low temperatures slow down the growth of pathogens d. low temperatures make food last indefinitely

Explanation:

Freezing preserves food because low - temperature environments slow the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens that cause spoilage. It doesn't destroy cell walls in a beneficial way for preservation, doesn't decrease nutrient density as a preservation mechanism, and food doesn't last indefinitely even when frozen.

Answer:

C. low temperatures slow down the growth of pathogens
