A bacterial cell that is resistant to a particular antibiotic may spend a large amount of energy producing the modified proteins

that are needed for resistance. In such a case, what would be the effect on this cell's fitness if no antibiotic was present?

Answer:

Its fitness would be lower than other strains that lack resistance because it is spending energy that the resistant strains can use for other purposes, such as reproduction.

Upon assessing the client's jaw, the nurse finds decreased range of motion and notes crepitus. what would the nurse suspect?
sashaice [31]
The nurse should suspect of a fractured jaw.

The crepitus is a common sign of bone fracture and it's heard when the fractured surfaces of two broken bones rub together.
Also If there is a severe jaw fracture, the patient might experience limited ability to move the jaw or be unable to move it at all.

Large molecules, such as glucose, that cannot cross the lipid bilayer can still move across the membrane through a type of passi
harkovskaia [24]
Facilitated diffusion. It is a passive transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell’s energy supplies. Instead, the energy is provide by the concentration gradient, which means that molecules are transported from higher to lower concentrations, into or out of the cell. The carrier proteins bind to glucose, which causes them to change shape and translocate the glucose from one side of the membrane to the other. Red blood cells use facilitated diffusion to absorb glucose.

Which level of life includes all of the other levels in this list: organisms, cells, biosphere, molecules, ecosystems?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Biosphere

Explanation:

The biosphere is the part of the earth that supports life forms. It includes hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere. Various ecosystems, aquatic or terrestrial, are present in the biosphere. Biotic and abiotic components of a geographical region that interact with each other together make an ecosystem.

The biotic component of an ecosystem includes all the organisms present in it. Organisms may be unicellular or multicellular. All the organisms are made up of one or more cells. Cells are made up of various biomolecules that interact and enable cells to perform the life processes.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

C) production of sperm and eggs

Explanation:

Sperms and eggs are the male and female gametes respectively. Formation of sperms and egg cells require meiotic cell division. Meiosis in sperm mother cells and egg mother cells reduces the chromosome number of half in the sperms and eggs. Meiosis also adds new gene combinations in these gametes by the process of crossing over.  

Mitosis cannot reduce the chromosome number to half in the sperms and eggs. Absence of crossing over in mitosis leads to the formation of genetically identical progeny cells from mitosis.  

Hence, mitosis can not form sperms and egg cells.  If it does, the sperms and egg cells would not have genetic variations and there would be doubling of chromosome number with each round of sexual reproduction.
