What can people do to stop the creation of more antibiotic resistant bacteria?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria do some variation in their genome that allows bacteria to eliminate the effect of antibacterial drugs. Irregular or excessive antibiotics use is the main cause of generating antibiotic resistance bacteria.  

So antibiotics should be taken only on the prescription of doctors and a complete course of antibiotics should be done to eliminate all the bacteria so that no bacteria is left to generate antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Antibiotics should be avoided in viral infection as antibiotic does not kill viruses as it is only beneficial in bacterial infection.

15. Explain how each of the following creates electrical energy:
olga_2 [115]
Solar- technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation.

Hydro- a hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity

Tidal- energy is a form of hydropower that works by harnessing the kinetic energy created from the rise and fall of ocean tides and currents, also called tidal flows, and turns into unusable electricity

Wind- turns the propeller like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity

OTEC- plants pump large quantities of deep cold seawater and surface seawater to run a power cycle and produce electricity

Biomass- is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure steam. This steam flows over a series of turbine blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the turbine drives a generator, producing electricity

Geothermal- power plants use steam to produce electricity. The steam comes from reservoirs of hot water found a few miles or more below the earth’s surface. The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity
