Answer:

Validate

Change of one form of energy into other can occur according to the law of conservation of energy.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can not be created or destroyed. However, one energy form can be transformed into another form. These energy transformations also occur in ecosystems.  

In the given example, the solar energy from the Sun was used by seagrass to perform the process of photosynthesis.

During the process, the energy from sunlight was converted into the chemical energy of organic nutrients (glucose). Part of these nutrients is used by seagrass as an energy source while rest is stored in its tissues. The transformation of radiant energy from the Sun into the chemical energy of nutrients present in seagrass follows the law of conversation of energy.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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 <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>(MRSA).
  3. 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).
  4. Decreased drug accumulation: Microbial efflux pumps remove the antimicrobial agent (before it could do any damage) by pumping it out of the cell.
  5. Decrease in cell permeability: The permeability of the microbial envelope to the antimicrobial agent is decreased
