A chef sprays antimicrobial cleaner on her counter top. At the first, the bacteria population declines significantly. However, e

ven though she continues to spray in following weeks, the number of bacteria begins to increase again. Why did this happen? After the application of antimicrobial spray, the bacteria needed to adapt by developing antimicrobial spray-resistant traits. Some bacteria had traits that allowed them to survive the initial antimicrobial application. They produced offspring also carrying those traits. The antimicrobial compound caused a mutation for resistance to it. This trait increased in the population over time. The bacteria that tried hardest to become resistant left more offspring, who were also resistant.

Answer:

Bacteria that carried the traits for antimicrobial resistance were able to pass on the trait to their offspring

Explanation:

Populations of organisms that are able to be resistant to pesticides have acquired this due to the ability to properly breakdown the chemicals or package it and discard of it effectively.

Bacteria populations typically multiply very quickly and many mutations arise. Some of these mutations are fortunate adaptations to the very agent that is meant to kill them. These mutants that are able to survive antimicrobial treatment will be able to pass these on to their prodigy.

_________ refers to the movement of air into and out of the lungs
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Ventilation (Pulmonary) AKA Breathing

Explanation:

Pulmonary ventilation is often known as breathing. It is the means through which air moving into the lungs in the course of inspiration (inhalation) and away from the lungs at expiration (exhalation). Air flows as a result of variations in pressure between the atmosphere and the gases within the lungs.

Air, just like gases, moves from a zone of larger pressure to a zone of smaller pressure. Muscular breathing activities and recoil of elastic tissues forms the variations in pressure that causes ventilation. Pulmonary ventilation employs three seperate or distinct pressures:

-Atmospheric pressure

-Intraalveolar (intrapulmonary) pressure

-Intrapleural pressure

-Atmospheric pressure is the air pressure that is not from within but from outside of the body.

-Intraalveolar pressure is the pressure within the lungs alveoli.

-Intrapleural pressure is the pressure present in the pleural cavity.

These three pressures are important for pulmonary ventilation.

SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!!! <br> What happens between the two monosaccharides once water is removed?
UNO [17]

Answer:

Dehydration synthesis is a chemical reaction that takes smaller, simpler molecules and combines them to form larger, more complex molecules with the removal of one WATER molecule. So, two monosaccharide (glucose) molecules come together and make a disaccharide (maltose).

Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. resethelp biomass assimilated feces
yaroslaw [1]

1. The right answer is not assimilated

The assimilation designates in biology the process by which substances and materials external to the body are transformed into substances and materials interior to the body.

2.  The right answer is feces.

Feces correspond to the residue of digestion that the intestine could not absorb. They consist of 80% water and 20% dry matter (intestinal cell debris, bacteria, cellulose that comes from the non-absorbable part of plants).

3. The right answer is assimilated  

The opposite of the first one.

4. The right answer is cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is the process of cellular metabolism that converts the chemical energy contained in nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

5. The right answer is assimilated

"Assimilation" can be also used for energy.

6. The right answer is biomass

In the field of energy, biomass is the organic matter of plant origin (microalgae included), animal, bacterial or fungal (fungi), usable as a source of energy.

7. The right answer is biosynthesis.

Biosynthesis consists of a formation and production of a chemical compound body by a living organism, usually due to the catalysis of an enzyme. For example, protein synthesis is the synthesis of organic substances by an organism. Chemosynthesis and photosynthesis are biosynthesis.

8. The right answer is non assimilated.

Since it is lost, so it is not assimilated by the organism.

9. The right answer is biosynthesis.

In ecology, the trophic level is the rank occupied by a living being in a food web. It is measured in some way by the distance separating this being from the basic level which is that of the primary autotrophic production.

Above this basic level, each link (or stage) of a food chain corresponds to a trophic level.

Why does the moon turn red during a total lunar eclipse?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

In the case of a lunar eclipse, red light can pass through the Earth's atmosphere and is refracted - or bent - toward the Moon, while blue light is filtered out. This leaves the moon with a pale reddish hue during an eclipse.
