The effectiveness of two antibiotics administered together may be greater than the effectiveness of either antibiotic used alone

. This is known as synergism seen as evidence of synergism in the disk-diffusion method? What would be zones of inhbiton around each artbote disk that are the same size enhanced zones of inhibition in the area between two adjacent disks no growth of bactena anywhere on the plate O ω a large zone of nhbition around one antbiotic but not around the other O no zone of inhibition in the area between two adjacent disks

Answer:

The correct answer is: enhanced zones of inhibition in the area between two adjacent disks.

Explanation:

  • According to the question, the two antibiotics show the property of Synergism.
  • Synergism can be defined as the property of two drugs, where the efficiency of activity (killing the bacteria) obtained on using the two drugs together is far more than the efficiency obtained by using individual drugs separately.
  • In the disk diffusion method, the efficiency in activity (killing of bacteria) of two drugs is determined by plating a nutrient agar media with the particular target bacteria and adding the two antibiotics in two discs separated from each other by a certain distance.
  • Both the antibiotics diffuse into the agar media from the discs and kill the target bacteria.
  • Zone of inhibition can be defined as the circular clear zone on the nutrient agar plate obtained after allowing the bacteria to grow for the required period of time. This is the region where no bacteria grow as they are killed by the antibiotics used.
  • Depending upon the efficiency of the antibiotic used and also its ability to diffuse into the nutrient agar medium, bacteria tends to grow  near the periphery of the nutrient agar plate where the antibiotic fails to reach.
  • In the question, as the two antibiotics used show synergistic effect, the region on the nutrient agar plate in between the two discs, where both the antibiotics are able to percolate will show a larger zone of inhibition.

Which statement best describes the differences in species diversity between an ecosystem beginning the process of primary succes
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Species diversity is greater in the ecosystem undergoing secondary succession because the soil already contains seeds and spores of various species

Explanation:

The primary succession is a process where we have a development of an ecosystem that is changing and preparing the environment for the species of the secondary succession. The species of the first succession encounter space that doesn't have soil or any species on it, and they are the ones that manage to convert it, including the formation of the first soil. These species are not numerous, there's only small number of them, just that their populations are relatively large. When the terrain is set for the species of the secondary succession, the ecosystem already has species that occupy it, just that new ones come and create greater species diversity, thus making the ecosystem richer in species.

Which does this tissue work with to carry out transpiration?
Firlakuza [10]
<span>dermal and vascular tissue

transpiration takes place when a plant engages in the excretion of water to the outside surface of the leaves, this process happens when the amount of water inside the plant increases hence excess liquid becomes unnecessary to the plant thus, transpiration is needed to take place.  </span>

EXPLAIN THE NATURE OF SCIENCE?​
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Science is an attempt to explain natural phenomena. People from all cultures contribute to science. Scientific knowledge, while durable, has a tentative character. Scientific knowledge relies heavily, but not entirely, on observation, experimental evidence, rational arguments and scepticism.
