<u>Answer</u>: option B through mutation

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Antibiotic resistance is the phenomena in which the bacteria becomes reistance to a given antibiotic and is no longer killed or harmed by it.
  • Bacteria unlike humand divide rapidly and increase in large number. However, each time it divides it has to replicate its genetic material. In the process of replication there is always a chance of introducing an error which is called as a <em>mutation</em>.
  • The mutation that occurs in a bacteria can either ber advantageous or disadvantageous. However, amongst the various type of mutations that arise in the bacteria if a particular mutation is conferring resistance to an antibiotic then in such case the bacteris gets selected by natural selection.
  • The bacteria having acquired thr resistance is then able to produce more of its progenies with the same antibiotic resistance and thus, this is how the resistance gets propagated.

So, firstly the <em>mutation</em> is the one which gives rise to the resistance which is then spread among the bacterial population by the process of reproduction as well horizontal gene transfer.

Describe an experiment you would perform to prove that an orange contains vitamin C
Tanya [424]
To prove that a certain fruit (in this case, an orange) indeed contains a certain compound (in this case, vitamin C); then the vitamin C should be extracted and isolated from the orange and must be confirmed by molecular analysis. The extraction process involves using chemicals (i.e. 6% MPA), and procedures such as centrifugation and filtration. Then the extract is stored and subjected to high-performance liquid analysis (HPLC) to measure the vitamin C content.

According to the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges for protein, an individual should consume between ______ and _____
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

50 grams and 175 grams

Explanation

Acceptable macronutrient distribution range are predetermined ranges of intake of a specific macronutrient such as Proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

It was developed to promote healthy diet in the society.

According to the AMDR, the ranges of proteins should be 10-35 percent of the calories.

Therefore;

10/100×2000=200          

But 1g contains 4 kilocalories of protein so;

200kCal/4kcal=<u>50 grams</u>

<u>35/100×2000=700 kcal of protein so; </u>

<u>700kcal÷4kcal= 175 grams  </u>

Carbon dioxide with its two double bonds is an example of a polar molecule.
GarryVolchara [31]
The bond between one carbon atom and one oxygen atom is polar but due to the fact that there is another oxygen attached to the carbon which has the same electronegativity value as the oxygen on the other side, the effect of polarity is canceled. CO_{2} is non-polar because the oxygens symmetrically alligned on the opposite sides of the carbon cancel the polarity effect.

Which of the following would most likely cause
igomit [66]

Answer: Option B) . a decrease in the amount of oxygen dissolved in

the pond

Explanation:

Anaerobic bacteria are able to survive in the absence of oxygen while aerobic bacteria survive only in the presence of abundant oxygen.

Hence, while reduced levels of dissolved oxygen in the pond decrease the amount of aerobic bacteria like Bacillus; anaerobic bacteria like Actinomyces flourish since they survive on organic substances like methane, cellulose instead.
