<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

Your muscles produce this when there are isn't enough oxygen for aerobic respiration
ValentinkaMS [17]

Fermentation occurs only when there is not sufficient oxygen available to permit aerobic reactions. (Note, this isn’t pictured in that overall picture at the top of this post).

Let’s pretend your muscles don’t have enough oxygen to attach these “hot potato” hydrogens onto oxygen. The NAD will then reattach these hydrogens back onto the middle carbon of each pyruvate to create lactic acid. The same way pyruvate is known as pyruvic acid, lactate is also called lactic acid, they are the same thing.

Number the steps from when the stimulus received to when the body reacts​
Natasha2012 [34]

The given question is not complete. The complete question is:

Number the steps from when a stimulus is received to when the body reacts.

The stimulus is received by sensory receptors.

Motor neurons cause muscles to contract so the body can react to the stimulus.

The brain processes the information through interneurons.

Interneurons transfer response information to motor neurons.

Sensory neurons carry stimulus information to the brain or spinal cord.

Answer:

The body of an organism like humans reacts towards each of the external stimuli of the environment like the smell of the food and even to the internal stimulus like hunger or pain. Thus, it can be considered that one is stimulated all the time and reacts towards the constituents found in the surroundings. The entire procedure of the organism reacting towards the stimuli are as follows:  

1. The sensory receptors receive the stimulus.  

2. The stimulus information is further carried to the spinal cord or the brain by the sensory neurons.  

3. The processing of the information in the brain takes place with the assistance of interneurons.  

4. After that the response information is mediated towards the motor neurons by the interneurons.  

5. The motor neurons eventually result in the contraction of muscles showing that the body is reacting towards the stimulus.

Which of the following wave properties is the best way for surfers to judge how fast waves are coming in to shore?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer;

-Frequency

Explanation

-Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time. The SI unit for wave frequency is the hertz (Hz), where 1 hertz equals 1 wave passing a fixed point in 1 second. A higher-frequency wave has more energy than a lower-frequency wave with the same amplitude.

-The speed of a wave is dependent on four factors: wavelength, frequency, medium, and temperature.  Wave speed is calculated by multiplying the wavelength times the frequency. Since speed is constant within the same medium, a high frequency has a short wavelength and vice-a-versa
