Which biome has a plant community dominated by plants that resist drought and store water, and a climate characterized by very l
hoa [83]

Answer;

-Hot desert biome

Explanation;

Hot Desert is characterized by very little rainfall or a lot of rain in a very short period. The soils are often salty because minerals do not get washed away. Thus, the climate is characterized by a very little precipitation.

-Plant adaptations: There are few plant species. these plants are adapted to resist drought and store water. For example; Spiny cacti that have thick, fleshy stems that conserve water are common. Their roots extend metres away from the plant to absorb water. Other plants have small, thick, waxy leaves that also store water. Many plants have spines or produce chemicals that protect them from being eaten.

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
