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.

Why is it important to know the PMI in forensics
tia_tia [17]
PMI is very important in forensics because having a time of death can help with the identification of human remains and can support or deny the stated actions of suspects in the crime.

Briefly outline the steps involved in glycogen synthesis and breakdown and explain the regulatory mechanism involved in glycogen
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Glycogen is synthesized and degraded by different pathways, which provide greater flexibility for energy production through its degradation or for storage in its synthesis and thus maintain control of both metabolic pathways.

Explanation:

Synthesis and degradation pathways:

1º.- activation of glucose units at UDP-glucose.

UDP-glucose is an activated form of glucose, which is formed in a reaction catalyzed by UDP-glucose, which is formed in a reaction catalyzed by UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase. This reaction is an example of biosynthetic reactions that are directed by the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate (PPi-2Pi).

Many biosynthetic reactions are directed by the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate, which catalyzes pyrophosphate hydrolase or pyrophosphatase, and is very favorable thermodynamically.

2nd.- polymerization or addition of glucose units to glycogen. Two steps: addition and branching.

 UDP-glucose acts as the giver of glucose units for glycogen synthesis. Glucose transfer

from the UDP-glucose to a growing glycogen chain is catalyzed by glycogen synthase.

A branching enzyme [amyl (1,4 -> 1,6) -transglucosidase], moves a chain of about seven glucose residues, to form

bonds (α1-> 6) at the branching points.

To start glycogen synthesis, glycogen synthase is only effective when it is linked to glycogenin. Glycogenin is

an oligosaccharide carrier protein formed by glucose units with linkages (α1-> 4).

Why is the mitochondria important in cellular respiration?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Mitochondria have an important role in cellular respiration through the production of ATP, using chemical energy found in glucose and other nutrients. Mitochondria are also responsible for generating clusters of iron and sulfur, which are important cofactors of many enzymes.

Explanation:

it's often referred to as the "powerhouse"
