Cool topic you're learning about. Antibiotic resistance occurs because of the fact that bacteria change in response to the use of medicaments, such as penicillin. The problem about antibiotic resistance, an international health crisis, is that people OVERDOSE in medicaments. Antibiotics are known to kill weak and sensitive bacteria, but some resistant bacteria grow and multiplicate, since they know how the medicament works.
Therefore, I would say that bacteria that are not initially killed by the antibiotic, they go to reproduce passing the resistance on to offspring. Antibiotic resistance is a big example when it comes to natural selection.
<u>Answer:</u>
When cells are in an <u>isotonic</u> solution, they are maintaining homeostasis.
<u>Explanation:</u>
"Homeostasis" is the process to maintain a stable and relatively constant internal environment. In addition to temperature it is maintained for many other factors too. "Isotonic solution" comprised of two solutions having the similar osmotic pressure across a semipermeable membrane.
Such solution maintain homeostasis of a cell via diffusion process. As in such solution the overall concentration on both sides of the membrane remains equal. The cell membrane command the movement regrading entrance and exit of anything in cell, the membrane control water and ion transport because of its phospholipid bilayer structure.
