5 0

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Explanation: The options attached to this question are given below:

A) Bacteria from other animals replace those killed by the antibiotics.

B) The few surviving bacteria that are affected by the antibiotics develop immunity to the antibiotics, which they pass on to their progeny.

C) The antibiotics cause new mutations to occur in the surviving bacteria, which results in resistance to antibiotics.  

D) The antibiotics kill susceptible bacteria, but the few that are naturally resistant live and reproduce, and their progeny repopulate the host animal.

E) The antibiotics persist in soil and water.

Antibiotics are sometimes used in animals to control infections. With time, the microbes that are been targeted with the antibiotics usually develop mutations, which makes the antibiotics to become ineffective, thus, the antibiotics will only be able to kill the susceptible microbes while the ones that have developed resistance will remain and give birth to young ones that are also resistant to antibiotics.

Define population. How is a population different from a community
icang [17]
A population is all the organisms of the same species in a group, like humans. Population is different from a community in that a population is every organism of the species grouped as a whole, and a community is a certain number of organisms within the whole population. That may not make sense, but that’s as good as I can describe it.

Why is the energy reduced at each level of the energy pyramid
Nostrana [21]

Answer: because every time something eats something 10% of the energy is passed on so it starts as 100% with plants photosynthesizing then the herbivore gets 10% of that energy. The carnivore that eats the herbivore gets 10% of the herbivore’s energy so by the time it gets to the top of the pyramid there is less and less energy to consume.

Explain what cells are and why there important
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Cells are the basic structure and unit of life. There are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are very basic, and have no nucleus, few organelles, and are ususally bacteria. Eukaryotic cells are more complex and have nuclei, are larger compared to prokaryotic cells, more organelles, and have emembrane bound organelles. There are plant and animals cells, each have certain organelles that other don't. For example, plant cells have large vacuoles and a cell wall; animal cells have centrioles. Cells are important because they provide strucure for the body, and take in nutrients from food and carry out many important functions, such as protein synthesis, respiration, growth and development, and more. Billions of cells make up a complex organism's body, while a single cell can make up an entire organisms, and carry out all of the needed functions. That's a quick summary of what cells are, and some of the things that they do that make them so important
