Answer:

A respirometer is a device that is used to measure the consumption rate of oxygen by any living organism.

So as the oxygen uses by the organism, the pressure of oxygen in the respirometer decreases and as the pressure decrease some amount of water enters the respirometer.  

So according to the consumption of oxygen water will move inside the respirometer due to a reduction in pressure in respirometer. So the rate of respiration can be calculated because the amount of water enters is directly proportional to the amount of oxygen consumed by an organism.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. When an antibiotic is used, bacteria that have a natural variation for resistance to the antibiotic have a greater chance of survival.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection.

The antibiotic action is an example of environmental pressure to bacteria, therefore; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce.

They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.
