<h2>Resistance to antibiotics </h2>

Explanation:

Bacteria are single-celled organisms usually found all over the inside and outside of our bodies

  • Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria or other microbes to resist the effects of an antibiotic
  • Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in some way that reduces or eliminates the effectiveness of drugs, chemicals, or other agents designed to cure or prevent infections,the bacteria survive and continue to multiply causing more harm
  • There are two main ways that bacterial cells can acquire antibiotic resistance,one is through mutations that occur in the DNA of the cell during replication and the other way that bacteria acquire resistance is through horizontal gene transfer
  • Through the process of replication bacteria develop mutations that make them resistant to antibiotics
  • Bacteria with the resistant mutation have a better chance of survival against antibiotics
  • Resistant bacteria continue to multiply even when exposed to antibiotics
  • In horizontal gene transfer,antibiotic resistant genetic material is transferred between different bacterial cells which can happen in three different ways: transformation,transduction or conjugation

A direct indication that the white blood cells of the body are functioning would be
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

B. a decrease in the number of pathogens in the body

Explanation:

White blood cell includes immune cell like monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, etc. These cells are responsible for fighting with the pathogens or foreign molecules and eliminate them from the body.

So when any pathogens get enter in the body these cell kills those pathogen and protect us from them. Therefore the decrease in the number of pathogens in the body is a direct indication that the white blood cells in the body are working. So the right answer is B.

How can I remember this definition of gene? (Like hints)
motikmotik
Hello there!

Well, that sentence is easy to memorize because it is short. Compare to what I have to memorize :)

How can I remember the definition?

Well, personally, I used different strategies to study Biology.

The first one "Flashcards".

Not every students like flashcards, but I do. In front of the card, you write "Gene". Then at the back of the card, you write the definition of it.

You keep reading it for like 3 times then you'll remember it.

Another strategy I used it writing it down. And this comes after you finished with the flashcards.

Take a piece of paper and write the definition down without looking at the flashcard. Write it down several times.

The next strategy is to test yourself. Leave it for like 4 minutes and go do something else. (Personally, I usually listen to music).

Then after 4 or 5 minutes, come back to it. Without looking at the flashcards or the paper, try to repeat the definition in your mind. Then repeat it out loud. Then write it down again to see if you remember the correct grammars. For example, you might don't remember how to spell "Chromosome".

That should be enough! :)

I used these tips to study Anatomy and some other science stuff. It works for me. I hope it works for you too.

As always, it is my pleasure to help student like you!

How is genetic engineering different from natural reproduction?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Genetic Engineering is on purpose.

Explanation:

Genetic engineering could range from selective breeding to adding/removing DNA and RNA. Natural reproduction occurs with the sole purpose of creating successful offspring. The offspring could he tainted if the male and female are related leaving it to not have the DNA or RNA necessary to lessen the likelihood of dysfunctional genetics.

A/an __________ may involve anything from a minimal exchange of information to extensive contact with the birth mother before an
mariarad [96]
The correct term to fill in the blank would be "oprn adoption". An open adoption may involve anything from a minimal exchange of information to extensive contact with the birth mother before and after the child is born. It is a form of adoption wherein the adoptive families and the biological family would have rights to a certain degree of the personal information of the adoption process and having an option of contract. In this type of adoption, the adoptive family would have all the rights to be the legal parents however the biological could have a the right to have a contract in different forms like sending photos of the child, personal visits and sending messages.

About this much of the energy released from food molecules during catabolism is released as heat:______.
lorasvet [3.4K]

About this much of the energy released from food molecules during catabolism is released as heat: adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

The Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of the energy for the use and the storage at the cellular level. The structure of the ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of the nitrogenous base (adenine), and ribose sugar, and the three serially bonded phosphate groups

ATP is synthesized in the mitochondria is the primary energy source for the important biological functions, such as the muscle contraction, the nerve impulse transmission, and the protein synthesis

In general, the main energy source for the cellular metabolism is the glucose, which is the catabolized in the three subsequent processes—the glycolysis, tricarboxylic and acid cycle (TCA or Krebs
