Answer:

any of two or more forms of a chemical element, having the same number of protons in the nucleus, or the same atomic number, but having different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, or different atomic weights. There are 275 isotopes of the 81 stable elements, in addition to over 800 radioactive isotopes, and every element has known isotopic forms. Isotopes of a single element possess almost identical properties.

The splitting apart of two organic molecules in a polymer and adding back the water parts to make individual monomers again is c
Pani-rosa [81]

The process of dissolving two organic molecules in a polymer and recombining the water molecules to create new monomers is known as hydrolysis.

<h3>What is hydrolysis?</h3>

The molecule is broken in a hydrolysis reaction involving an ester bond, such as the one between two amino acids in a protein. As a result, the water molecule (H₂O) splits into two groups: one that forms a hydroxyl (OH) group with the remaining hydrogen proton (H+) and another that transforms into a carboxylic acid.

Practically speaking, hydrolysis refers to the process of separating compounds when water is present.

Condensation, which is the process by which two molecules combine to produce one bigger molecule, can also be thought of as the opposite reaction to hydrolysis. The outcome of this reaction is that a water molecule is ejected by the larger molecule.

The three primary hydrolysis processes are

  • Salt hydrolysis.
  • Acid hydrolysis.
  • Base hydrolysis.

A pathogenic strain of bacteria has become resistant to an antibiotic that once could kill it. What has happened to these bacter
Andrews [41]
The answer is <span>-Only the few bacteria that were immune to the antibiotic survived and reproduced, making all their offspring immune to it as well.

Bacteria (or any other organism) are not able to make changes to their DNA in order to protect themselves or to learn to remove the receptors on their cell surfaces. If they were able to produce toxins against the antibiotics, they would all survive.
These leave the second choice as the correct answer. This is the real situation, and is a good example of natural selection.</span>
