Some fish can swim in water below 0℃, low enough to freeze the blood of most creatures. However, some fish and insects can stay alive in the freezing water. One key to survival is a special protein in the fish’ s blood. The chemical is called the Antifreeze Protein, otherwise known as AFP and is commonly found in fish that live in cold waters.
What does AFP do in these fish? First, we need to understand what happens when water freezes. When the temperature of the water drops below 0℃ , tiny particles of ice start forming in the water. Each particle becomes larger and then sticks to other particles, forming blocks of ice. Fish take in this water and tiny particles of ice also form inside a fish’ s body. However, the AFP in the blood of the fish surrounds these particles, preventing them from sticking together to form bigger pieces of ice.
The application of AFP is promising. For example, AFP can be used to alter the taste and texture of ice-cream. It can also be used to store meat and vegetables more effectively by protecting food products from the formation of ice. Another application is in medical field, as AFP can help preserve organs for transplantation without freezing them. Scientists have known about AFP for more than 30 years, yet few of the technologies that use the AFP exist today. The process of getting the necessary amount of AFP from fish to make products was only recently discovered. Some companies in the United States and Canada have already made products using AFP, but they have yet to become popular. Although some researchers in Japan discovered that some local fish contained AFP and succeeded in creating AFP in the laboratory, more research is necessary. AFP tests will continue for these fish out of the water.
Which of the following statements is true?
选项
A、AFP was discovered more than three centuries ago.
B、Few scientists are interested in continuing research on AFP.
C、AFP can raise the temperature of any liquid.
D、Scientists are thinking of a variety of ways to use AFP.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。文章第三段后半部分主要讲述了正在研究AFP的多种用途,故选项D正确。根据“Scientists have known about AFP for more than 30 years”可排除选项A;根据文中提到的美国、加拿大、日本等国家的研究者都在研究AFP可知,选项B错误;选项C在文中没有提及,所以也可排除。故选D。
