We can select the resistant microbes that were survived on the second day of antibiotic application.

<h3>How can we select for the resistant ones?</h3>

We can select for the resistant ones by only taking antibiotics for 2 days instead of the full 10 days that the drugs were prescribed in order to see the microorganism that survived on the second day. Bacteria get resistance when they are exposed to similar type of chemicals for a long time. Some of bacteria mutate and make defenses against the chemical which leads to survival of that organism.

So we can conclude that We can select the resistant microbes that were survived on the second day of antibiotic application.

How do the properties of water allow it to be transported from the roots to leaves?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Water has the property of cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion provides the property of water to get attached with other water molecules and it holds water molecules together, adherence provides the property of stickiness to any surface to the water molecule.

These two properties together allow water molecules to move upwards against gravity. Water moves by capillary action through the water column. Cohesion and adhesion create a pull on the column which transport the water towards the leaves from where they get evaporated.  

This evaporation then causes tension on another water molecule and this tension then pulls another water molecule towards leaves.

Why phage is consider as a nanomachine? ​
kolezko [41]

Answer:

phages are non-living biological entities that can produce numerous copies of themselves, forming ordered three-dimensional structures on a nanometre scale

Explanation:

A phage (i.e., a bacteriophage), is a virus capable of infecting and replicating within bacteria. Bacteriophages are composed of proteins forming a capsid that encapsulates the genetic material (either DNA or RNA genome), which may contain a variable number of genes. Bacteriophages, and viruses in general, can be considered nanomachines capable of producing numerous copies of themselves with high fidelity by utilizing the molecular machinery of the host bacterial cell. In biotechnology, it has been proposed to exploit the knowledge about bacteriophage reproduction to design diverse nanostructures.
