Antibiotics, such as penicillin, are drugs that kill or prevent the growth of bacteria. When antibiotics were first discovered,

they seemed to represent a miracle cure for human diseases like pneumonia, typhoid, bubonic plague, and gonorrhea. Today there are resistant strains of bacteria that cannot be killed by antibiotics.
Can you pick out the statements that accurately describe the development of antibiotic resistance?

Antibiotic resistance is not an example of natural selection.
Mutations may be a source of variation in any population of bacteria.
When antibiotics are used at first, all the disease-causing bacteria are killed.
There is always variation in a population and might include resistant bacteria.
Bacteria that are not initially killed by the antibiotic, reproduce passing the resistance on to offspring.

Cool topic you're learning about. Antibiotic resistance occurs because of the fact that bacteria change in response to the use of medicaments, such as penicillin. The problem about antibiotic resistance, an international health crisis, is that people OVERDOSE in medicaments. Antibiotics are known to kill weak and sensitive bacteria, but some resistant bacteria grow and multiplicate, since they know how the medicament works.

Therefore, I would say that bacteria that are not initially killed by the antibiotic,  they go to reproduce passing the resistance on to offspring. Antibiotic resistance is a big example when it comes to natural selection.

Bioflix activity: cellular respiration and photosynthesis -- energy flow can you identify how energy flows through an ecosystem?
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Sun

Sun is the main source of energy on earth. About 40% light reach to the atmosphere some of which is filtered by ozone layers, water vapours and other gases. only 1% light is used in photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis

                         Producers contain chloroplast filled with chlorophyll molecules. when sunlight falls on leaves process of photosynthesis occurs which convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

Respiration

                 Respiration occurs both in producers and consumers. in this process chemical energy (glucose) is converted into ATP, NADH and FADH2.

Decomposition

                  there are some organisms known as decompose s. they decompose dead bodies of plants and animals and convert complex molecules into simple nutrients with help of energy. in this way sun light energy is transferring in ecosystem in different forms.

Reproductive Process:  Reproduction<span> in the </span>coyote<span> is a very intricate </span>process<span>, as females are completely infertile for ten months out of the year, and males are sterile for eight. The </span>process<span> begins with several males vying for the attention of a single female.</span> In spring, females den and give birth to litters of three to twelve pups. Both parents feed and protect their young and their territory.
Human and Environmental Challenges: Coyotes face many challenges. They are often hunted by other larger animals. Humans also hunt them when they are interfering with their crops or livestock.
Migration pattern: <span>According to a study, coyotes migrated eastward via two main route: one that went through the northern United States, and one that went through the south. Oddly enough, the Northern and Southern coyotes seemed to meet midway</span>

What opposes the sliding motion of two<br> surfaces that are in contact.
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Friction: A force that opposes the motion of objects that touch as they move past each other. Friction acts at the surface where objects are in contact.

Explanation:

The force that acts against your pushing force is called friction. is a force that resists the motion between two surfaces in contact. When you try to slide two surfaces across each other, the force of friction resists the sliding motion.
