The Sun is the basic source of energy for the Earth which affect the growth of all living things and the Sun also affect the all the biochemical processes. We know that the amount of radiation from the Sun changes day by day due to the distance of the Earth from the Sun. The rate of Solar energy affects the Earth in two ways.

The rate of solar heating which directly affects the processes like the evaporation and condensation and indirectly it affects the cloud forming processes of the Earth. The rate at which the solar energy reaches the Earth is called as the Total Solar Irradiance or TSI. This affects the climate of the Earth in many ways.

The change in rate of cloud formation increases of decreases with the distance of the Sun from Earth and hence a warm, moderate or cold climate is formed

It also affects the formation of winds due to the low or high pressure in the water bodies and hence affect the climate in the coastal areas.

The tropical areas have hot and humid climate due to the equator which has maximum exposure to the Sun’s heat.

Hence, the Sun is one primary feature that affects the climate in the Earth.

How does DNA make protein?

77julia77 [94]

When a cell makes a protein the instructions are copied from part of the DNA strand and transcribed to new molecule, called RNA. RNA molecules carry the instruction from the nucleus to ribosomes.

What does the citric acid cycle start and end with?

expeople1 [14]

The Krebs cycle occurs right after glycolysis. The substance that begins the Krebs cycle is a 3-carbon molecule called pyruvic acid. The process breaks down the pyruvic acid into acetyl coenzyme A, releasing one of the carbon atoms into carbon dioxide.

Select the five major mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. Check All That Apply

Rudik [331]

Answer:

All the given statements are correct except b.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) refers to the ability of a microorganism to grow in the presence of drug or a chemical that would normally limit its growth or kill it.

It makes it difficult for the existing drugs to eliminate the infection as they become less effective against the microbe.

There are five major mechanisms by which a microbe attains resistance against antimicrobial chemical or drug:

Drug modification or inactivation: A microbial enzyme inactivates the antimicrobial agent. For example, few bacteria produce β-lactamases which provide multi-resistance against β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporin etc.
Alteration or modification of target site: An altered target site prevents the antimicrobial agent from binding to its target. For example, alteration of penicillin binding protein (PBP) in Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Alteration of metabolic pathway: The microbe uses an alternative pathway to circumvent the blocked pathway. For example, sulfonamides-resistant bacteria started using preformed folic acid in place of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA).
Decreased drug accumulation: Microbial efflux pumps remove the antimicrobial agent (before it could do any damage) by pumping it out of the cell.
Decrease in cell permeability: The permeability of the microbial envelope to the antimicrobial agent is decreased
