Construct a concept map that shows how a population of bacteria can develop resistance to antibiotics.
Vsevolod [243]

The attached picture shows how bacteria gain antibiotic resistance. Firstly, a few individuals attain a beneficial mutation in their genetic material that accords them the capability to survive in an antibiotic. The individuals are hence able to survive and reproduce more than those individuals without the mutation. There is, therefore, a genetic shift in the population in favor of the resistant genotype. After generations, the whole population becomes antibiotic resistant.

Why are some bacteria referred to as indicator microorganisms in ascertaining microbial quality control of products?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Some bacteria are used as indicators because if they are present in the product, we can say that it is a product with the presence of pathogens that will cause diseases. Some of them are: total coliforms, fecal coliforms and enterococci.

To be a good indicator they must have a correlation with the pathogens and be more abundant than them. Its presence in a food indicates the possible presence  simultaneous pathogen microorganisms. For example, E. coli has been used as  Index of possible presence of pathogens of enteric origin in water and food

Excretory removes waste products and toxins from the blood using the kidneys. The kidneys filter the blood and return the essential products (water, salt, sugar, etc) back to the bloodstream in normal amounts after removing the wastes.
