How does the growth of antibiotic resistance in bacteria support the theory of evolution by natural selection?

Wow that's a good one :). Think about it like this. When you put antibiotics in place where bacterias live, probably most of them will die, however there might be "some" who are resistent to the antibiotic by their nature, (mutations etc.) so among the bacterias which were exposed the antibiotics those resistent ones will survive. And bacterias have a system for exchanging DNA to make each other more resistant, its called "conjugation" look it up. By conjugation they give each other genes which will help them survive. So if we summarize, those who are already resistant survive (which is a cause of natural selection in an environment of antibiotics) and help others resistant too.

explain why the top of an energy pyramid does not have an arrow showing energy going back down to the bottom.
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<span>The answer to your question is that all of the energy is ultimately radiated into empty outer space as heat. The second law of thermodynamics mandates that all processes that involve the transfer of energy MUST radiate a portion of this energy into space as waste heat. This is why when you run down the street you get hot and sweaty, and this is why automobiles MUST have a functioning radiator and nuclear power stations MUST have evaporation cooling towers or else be located near a large body of water to exchange excess waste heat into, etc., etc. It is also true that the transfer of energy at each step up the food chain is very inefficient. They say it takes around 50 lbs of corn to produce one pound of beef, and it probably takes 20-30 pounds of beef to produce one pound of human tissue. The rest of the energy just goes into your living room as radiated body heat. I hope this helps.</span>
