Many types of sea stars eat mussels and other shellfish. Suppose an oil spill causes thousands of mussels in an area to die. How

Answer: There will be a decrease in the population of sea stars.

Explanation:

Sea starts depend on mussels and other shell fish for their food. if there is an oil spill in the water body and it causes the mussels of an particular area to die then the population that is dependent on mussel as their soul source of energy will decrease in population.

This will happen because of food scarcity. The main source of survival is food and without food the organisms would not be able to survive.

Here, the star fish eat mussels to live, decrease in the number of mussel will decrease the population of sea star.

This could lead to the decrease in the areas sea star population. If there is not enough food, the animals may not be able to survive.

Compare and contrast what happens in mitosis and meiosis and discuss the importance of each process to a living organism.
avanturin [10]
Lets see both procedures:
<span>Mitosis is a process of cell duplication during which one cell gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a division of a germ cell involving two fissions of the nucleus and giving rise to four gametes, or sex cells, each possessing half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. Mitosis is used by single celled organisms to reproduce; it is also used for the organic growth of tissues, fibers, and mibranes. Meiosis is useful for sexual reproduction of organisms. I hope this can help greatly</span>

Select the five major mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. Check All That Apply
Rudik [331]

Answer:

All the given statements are correct except b.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) refers to the ability of a microorganism to grow in the presence of drug or a chemical that would normally limit its growth or kill it.

It makes it difficult for the existing drugs to eliminate the infection as they become less effective against the microbe.

There are five major mechanisms by which a microbe attains resistance against antimicrobial chemical or drug:

  1. Drug modification or inactivation: A microbial enzyme inactivates the antimicrobial agent. For example, few bacteria produce β-lactamases which provide multi-resistance against β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporin etc.
  2. Alteration or modification of target site: An altered target site prevents the antimicrobial agent from binding to its target. For example, alteration of penicillin binding protein (PBP) in Methicillin-resistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>(MRSA).
  3. Alteration of metabolic pathway: The microbe uses an alternative pathway to circumvent the blocked pathway. For example, sulfonamides-resistant bacteria started using preformed folic acid in place of  para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA).
  4. Decreased drug accumulation: Microbial efflux pumps remove the antimicrobial agent (before it could do any damage) by pumping it out of the cell.
  5. Decrease in cell permeability: The permeability of the microbial envelope to the antimicrobial agent is decreased

Why is myxoma no longer effective in controlling rabbit population?
Margaret [11]

The development of resistance to the disease has taken different courses. In Australia, the virus initially killed rabbits very quickly – about 4 days after infection. This gave little time for the infection to spread. However, a less virulent form of the virus then became prevalent there, which spread more effectively by being less lethal. In Europe, many rabbits are genetically resistant to the original virus that was spread. The survival rate of diseased rabbits has now increased to 35%, while in the 1950s it was near zero.[15]

Which form of reproduction would be most beneficial in an unstable environment?
Sliva [168]
Sexual reproduction would help the most because the offspring are genetically varied more than other types of reproduction and are more likely to adapt and survive.
