How are bacteria able to adapt to a rapidly changing environment?

Biology
1 answer:
shtirl [24]4 years ago

They adapt because they can replicate quickly (have many generations within short period of time) and accumulate mutations. Mutations in their genetic information allows them to bypass the host's immune system or resist to antibiotics. These mutations are successfully carried to the next generations of bacteria and allows them to thrive in their new environments. <span />

Label the main steps in the cellular respiration model?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Step 1: Glycolysis. In glycolysis, glucose—a six-carbon sugar—undergoes a series of chemical transformations. In the end, it gets converted into two molecules of pyruvate, a three-carbon organic molecule. In these reactions, ATP is made, and \text{NAD}^+NAD  +  N, A, D, superscript is converted to {NADH}NADHN, A, D, H.

Step 2:Pyruvate oxidation. Each pyruvate from glycolysis goes into the mitochondrial matrix—the innermost compartment of mitochondria. There, it’s converted into a two-carbon molecule bound to Co-enzyme A, known as acetyl CoA. Carbon dioxide is released and NADH is generated.

Step 3:Citric acid cycle. The acetyl CoA made in the last step combines with a four carbon molecule and goes through a cycle or reaction, ultimately regenerating the four carbon starting molecule.

If you monitored energy allocation in an adult penguin for just a few months instead of an entire year, you might find the growt
Dmitrij [34]
<h2>Energy allocation in penguin</h2>

Explanation:

  • Although penguins don't grow from year to year, they increase and decrease in size as they repeatedly form and use energy stores,a significant amount of energy might be stored in fat during part of the year but be missing from the pie chart because it is used later in the year  
  • Allocation of limited endogenous resources causes trade-offs between competing traits, such as reproduction, somatic growth and maintenance
  • During food deprivation, animals cannot maximize all of their life-history traits and must exhibit adaptive behavioral, physiological and biochemical responses to reduce metabolism and/or the cost of current activities in order to maintain biological value
