Evolutionary theory predicted that bacterial resistance would happen. Given time, heredity and variation, any living organisms including the bacteria will evolve when a selective pressure, in this case an antibiotic is introduced. However it also gives doctors an patient some specific strategies for delaying even more widespread evolution of antibiotic resistance; these strategies include; avoid mild doses of antibiotics over long time periods, don't use antibiotics to treat viral infections, when treating bacterial infection with antibiotics, take all the pills, and also using combination of drugs to treat a bacterial infection.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

D) 1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

The floor of the orbit is the structure involved in the fracture by Reventon. On both sides of the face at the level of the midline we find the orbital cavities responsible for housing the eyeballs and their annexes. The zygomatic bone is part of the orbit floor. With orbital floor fractures, the prolapse of the orbital fat in the maxillary sinus can be considerable and the lower rectus muscle is equally compromised.

Mixed cranial nerves containing both motor and sensory fibers include all except which of the following?
Fed [463]

Answer:

Answer is option D.

Olfactory nerve is a sensory cranial nerve.

Explanation:

Nerves are the part of peripheral nervous system, which transmit signals from brain or spinal cord (central nervous system) to the different parts of the body and vice versa.

Based on the direction of signal transmission, they are classified into three groups;  sensory nerves (afferent nerves) pass signals from sensory receptors (pain, pressure, temperature etc) in various parts of the body to the central nervous system, motor nerves (efferent nerves) transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands all throughout the body, mixed nerves contain both sensory and motor fibers which conduct both sensory information and muscle commands throughout the body.

Based on where they are connected to the central nervous system, they are classified into two groups; spinal nerves connected to the spinal cord and cranial nerves attached to the brain.  All the 31 spinal nerves are combined sensory and motor axons.

Of the 12 cranial nerves, three are sensory nerves, four are motor nerves and five are mixed nerves. The sensory cranial nerves are olfactory (smell), optic (vision) and acoustovestibular (hearing and balance) nerves.  The motor cranial nerves are trochlear (controls the superior oblique muscle of the eyeball), abducens (controls the lateral rectus muscle of the eyeball), accessory (controls the trapezius muscle in the back and shoulders), hypoglossal (controls the muscles of the throat and helps in swallowing) nerves.  The five mixed cranial nerves are occulomotor, trigeminal, facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves.

loris [4]

Question:

A---enzyme A------>B----enzyme B------>C

Refer to the metabolic pathway illustrated above. If A, B, and C are all required for growth, a strain that is mutant for the gene-encoding enzyme A would be able to grow on medium supplemented with _____.

A) nutrient A only

B) nutrient B only

C) nutrient C only

D) nutrients A and C

Answer:

B) nutrient B only

Explanation:

The mutant has a mutation in the gene that codes for the enzyme A. Therefore, this mutant would not be able to convert the substance A into B. Without the presence of substance B, the final product can not be formed. However, if the mutant is supplemented with the substrate "B", it can convert the B into the final product (substance C). Therefore, the mutant would be able to grow in the medium to which the already prepared substance B has been added.

Which events take place in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
borishaifa [10]

The correct answer is : Light energy is captured by plants; light energy is converted to chemical energy.

In the process of photosynthesis, special pigment molecule called chlorophyll can capture the energy of the light, more specifically the photon. When a particle of light (a photon) with a specific energy reaches this pigment in the leaves of plants, the energy is transferred from the particle to the molecule, and the molecule becomes excited. This is the phase where the energy of the light is captured and transformed into chemical energy that can later be used to make sugars.

All of the later chemical processes that transfer the energy from the excited chlorophyll to the sugar molecules are not dependent on the light and can happen during the night as well.
