ANSWER:

Diffusion is used by bacteria to transfer antibiotic resistance genes to other cells.

EXPLANATION:

When bacteria becomes resistant to antibodies, it loses the ability to be inhibited.

Diffusion in such case is used by bacteria to transfer the antibiotic genes to another species. This is because bacteria has the ability to replicate and transfer resistance by engulfing DNA from neighboring cells.

Bacteria has the ability to take naked DNA encoding from similar species for the purpose of resistance and diffusion is the process that makes it possible.

Which of the following is a true statement about tectonic plates?

Nataly [62]

I would go with D as it is closest to correct. Every part of the surface of the Earth is a tectonic plate though. The plates vary in thickness, but all of the surface of the Earth is made up of tectonic plates, including the parts under the ocean. Technically, the Earth's landmass does not rest on the tectonic plates, it IS the tectonic plates, but it is the closest to correct here in my opinion.

A substrate-level phosphorylation occurs in the citric acid cycle when _____.

Xelga [282]

C. GDP is phosphorylated to produce GTP

Substrate level phosphorylation occurred in kreb cycle inform of metabolic reaction that involve the transfer of phosphoryl group to GDP or ADP from another phosphorylated compound which result into formation of GTP or ATP. This process commonly occurs in the cytoplasm of cells during glycolysis and also in the mitochondria during krebs cycle.
