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.

Answer:

Cells produce energy by breaking down sugar and other molecules in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP. So the answer is "B".

Explanation:

The process of producing ATP in animal cells occurs through cellular respiration. Various processes occur in this which involve the presence or absence of oxygen. Glycolysis in the presence of oxygen leads to the production of two molecules of ATP. Glucose is broken down into pyruvate and water.

In citric acid cycle, acetyl coA is utilized to produce <u>2ATP, 6NADH and 2FADH molecules.</u>

Finally oxidative phosphorylation occurs in mitochondria. With the help of electron transport chain, ATP is synthesized by ATP synthase enzyme.
