Answer:

C.Ciprofloxacin

Explanation:

Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic. Mike Culbreath was sick because he had an infection with a bacteria called campylobacter, which people usually contract from eating uncooked infected chicken.

However, the particular strain of bacteria he had was resistant to to Ciprofloxacin, because this drug is often used to treat farm animals.

Therefore, Mike got sicker and sicker until his kidneys almost failed from dehydration.

One pyruvate molecule will generate _______ molecules of CO2 after completing the citric acid cycle

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

c) 3

Explanation:

Cellular respiration includes following 3 processes:

1) Glycolysis

2) Citric acid cycle or TCA or Kreb's cycle

3) Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

In glycolysis, a 3 carbon compound known as pyruvate is produced from glucose. Each glucose molecule produces 2 pyruvate molecules. Each pyruvate molecule then enters a complex known as Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex wherein the pyruvate molecule further undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to produce a 2 carbon compound known as Acetyl-CoA.

The Acetyl-CoA then enters citric acid cycle or TCA or Kreb's cycle wherein this Acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate are oxidized to produce CO₂ molecules in eight steps. Each glucose molecule is capable of producing six CO₂ after the completion of citric acid cycle. Since one glucose molecule produces 2 pyruvate molecules then it means <u>a pyruvate molecule will be able to produce three CO₂.</u>

if the ratio of the ages of kisii and esinam is 3:5 and that of Esinam and Larry is 3:5 and the sum of the ages of all three is

larisa [96]

Answer:

The age difference between the oldest and the youngest is 48.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

The ratio of the ages of Kisii (K) and Esinam (E) is 3:5.

The ratio of the ages of Esinam (E) and Larry (L) is 3:5.

The sum of the ages of all three is 147.

Since the age of Esinam is common in both ratios, we find the lowest common multiple (LCM);

LCM of 3,5 = 15.

Hence, the ratio of the three ages is now;

K:E:L = 9:15:25

Let their ages be denoted by x;

$K:E:L = 9x:15x:25x$

The sum of all three ages is;

9x + 15x + 25x = 147

49x = 147

x = 147/49

x = 3.

To find the age difference between the oldest and the youngest;

The oldest is Esinam = 25x

The youngest is Kisii = 9x

Therefore, 25x - 9x = 16x

Substituting the value of x, we have;

x = 3; 16x = 16(3) = 48.

The age difference between the oldest and the youngest is 48.

List conditions of the circulatory system that decrease blood flow and increase blood pressure and resistance.

skad [1K]

Blood clots will do this. Cutting off blood flow while also increasing blood pressure. Also, if the viscosity (thickness of the blood) is thick which will slow down the flow and cause the body to use more effort to pump blood.

The amount of time spend in the bathtub and the temperature of the bath water

lesya692 [45]

Hihi!

<span>In general the water should be kept around 100-105 degrees fahrenheit! You should only spend around 10 minutes in the bath at a time, long bathes and showers damage your skin and take out all the moisture in your skin as well!

I hope I helped!
