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.

What is El Niño?
Anastasy [175]

El Niño: an irregularly occurring and complex series of climatic changes affecting the equatorial Pacific region and beyond every few years, characterized by the appearance of unusually warm, nutrient-poor water off northern Peru and Ecuador, typically in late December.

La Niña: a cooling of the water in the equatorial Pacific, which occurs at irregular intervals, and is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns complementary to those of El Niño, but less extensive and damaging in their effects.

how they differ: La Niña is sometimes referred to as the cold phase of ENSO and El Niño as the warm phase of ENSO. These deviations from normal surface temperatures can have large-scale impacts not only on ocean processes, but also on global weather and climate. ... Typically, El Niño occurs more frequently than La Niña.

Which step of the calvin cycle would be affected first by a lack of nadph?
Mrac [35]

Reduction

Reduction is the second step of the Calvin cycle which would be affected first by a lack of NADPH.

The Calvin cycle is the group of chemical processes that occur within the chloroplasts during photosynthesis . The three main steps in Calvin cycle are carbon fixation (Carboxylation), reduction, and regeneration of the starting molecule. In the reduction step, NADPH acts as a reducing agent which functions by transferring electrons that allow carbohydrates to be synthesized from carbon dioxide. During these step, there is transfer of two electrons and one proton to the phosphorylated compound by NADPH which produces one phosphate group to form the triose phosphates.
