<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

Flauer [41]
The first step of cellular respiration is glycolysis, where a six carbon glucose is broken down into a three carbon, this is called pyruvic acid. You're welcome

If you want the other steps in cellular respiration or cytology, just ask, I'm an A+.

Why should a slide not be moved when viewing under high-power magnification?
user100 [1]
The slide should be moved when viewing under a high power magnification because if we move it the structure that we are observing may change and sometimes the organism that we are observing may fell down
