<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

How can a change in technology affect scientific knowledge?

Shalnov [3]

It helps scientists improve on research and tests/examinations to understand the object a little more. For Example: The newer modified microscope helps zoom into harder to see microrganisms. So if technology changed then most of our scientific knowledge wouldve been mistaken this whole time. We wouldnt know many things if technology didnt exist.

Answer:

Analyze

Explanation:

Bloom's Taxonomy is a method of classifying learning from complex to specific. Mostly represented as a pyramid from bottom to top is remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate and create.

For this example of a "fake news" story the tier of "Analyze" is applicable since it will require the use of judgement, and comparing and contrasting as well as discernment skills.

Which statements accurately describe the Doppler effect? Check all that apply

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Option (1), (2) and (3).

Explanation:

Doppler effect may be defined as the change in wavelength due to the the movement of sound or radiowaves travels from the object. The frequency remains same if the distance between the receiver and sender's electromagnetic wave distance is same.

Doppler effect helps to learn about the universe behavior. Hubble used the Doppler effect to study the velocity of galaxy. The galaxy motion can be indicated by the wavelength and light.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1), (2) and (3).
