The bacteria which had mutation became resistant to the antibiotic and survived and keeps on increasing, promoting natural selection.
Explanation:
The bacteria rapidly divide, the chances of mutation in the gene increases manifold.
The strains of bacteria causing tuberculosis and staph infection got mutated at DNA level such that they became resistant to antibiotics when tested those susceptible did not survive. These mutations were not harmful to bacteria and the resultant bacteria survived.
These bacteria which survived and proliferated as the environment was in their favour.
Thus, Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection is acceptable here as it says if a mutation is occurring towards the increase in population, they will be selected ones.
Answer: D.) a suggested answer to a problem
Explanation:
A hypothesis is a supposition, suggested answer or a proposed explanation based on limited evidence which can be use to start an investigation. A hypothesis is more than a guess but less than a established theory and it can be tested through study and experiments.
<u>A hypothesis is part of the scientific method </u>because it is a prediction which can be tested and the results from those experiments may disprove a hypothesis, but can never entirely prove one.
It is not a conclusion because it is an idea which tries to explain an observation. It is not information collected from experiments because hypothesis are formulated before carrying out the experiments and it is not a widely accepted idea because it just proposes a tentative explanation about a phenomenon.
Salivary amylase will be active for only an hour or so because the optimum pH for activity of amylase is about 6.7–7.0 which is available in the mouth but the pH of the stomach is acidic around 1-2 due to which the amylase enzyme becomes inactive in short-time.
The lingual lipase enzyme is present in the saliva but isn't active until reaching the stomach because this enzyme is acid stable and works efficiently in the stomach, not in the mouth.
Amylase enzyme is secreted in the mouth and is responsible for the breakdown of starch in food into sugars and it starts acting as soon as we put food in the mouth whereas Lingual lipase enzyme is secreted along with saliva but it is not active in the mouth rather its activity starts in the stomach which is responsible for the degradation of triacylglycerol molecules.
