MRSA is the acronym for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Many of the strains of the common bacterium are also resist

ant to other antibiotics in use today. Resistance is linked to a collection of genes carried on plasmids that are passed on from bacterium to another by conjugation. Suppose a newly discovered, chemically different antibiotic is used in place of methicillin. What would be the most likely effect on Staphylococcus aureus antibiotic resistance?
Transmission of the methicillin-resistance plasmid would gradually decrease but the plasmid would not entirely disappear from the S. aureus population.

Answer:

Transmission of the methicillin-resistance plasmid would gradually decrease but the plasmid would not entirely disappear from the Staphylococcus aureus population.

Explanation:

The main targets for antibiotics in staphylococci are the cell envelope, the ribosome and  nucleic acids. Resistance can either develop by horizontal transfer or by mutations in chromosomal genes. Acquisition of resistance by mutation can result from alteration of the drug target.

Which molecule in animal plasma membranes reduces the permeability of the membrane to most biological molecules?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'e' : Cholesterol

Explanation:

The ease at which materials can be transported across a membrane depends on the membrane permeability. Membrane permeability is basically the ease at which materials are transported across membrane . As we know that upon increasing the viscosity of any fluid it's resistance to deformation increases or it applies a greater resisting force if we try to change the shape of the membrane thus reducing the permeability of the membrane. the increase in cholesterol increases the viscosity of the membrane thus reducing it's permeability.

Pavlova-9 [17]
Basing on the data Thomas' were able to gathered, we could say that the mode of the data is 7.40 g. Mode of the data is being define the the response that has the highest number of tallied result. It must have the most number of result in order for it to be the mode.

Small intestine can be best described as...
QveST [7]
The answer to this is C.

In the small intestine, it consists of duodenum and ileum in simple. The duodenum is where most food is digested. Enzymes are secreted and they break down complex and insoluble food into simple small soluble molecules.
After digestion, the food will be absorbed into the body in the ileum. The food flow from the ileum into the body cells by diffusion and active transport. Villi is also present in the small intestine to help the absorption process. After absorption, the nutrients would be transferred into the cells that needed.
The rest of the food that is not absorbed is trasferred to the large intestine to re absorb the water. After that, they're feaces and they'll be egested
