Answer:

This is antibiotic resistance. It occurs with over use of antibiotics.

When antibiotics are over used, likely targeted bacteria are being   killed constantly even in absence of an infection. However,  few  bacteria may resist the antibiotics effects(selective pressure) , and therefore survived. If these resistant bacteria who were able to survive the selective pressure  reproduce, they pass the resistant trait/ gene into their offspring.

Therefore with continuous exposure to antibiotics, they will  resist the antibiotics effects(selective pressure),and thus reducing the effectiveness  of antibiotic treatments  with subsequent application.

Explain why flask #2 (yeast with glucose) produced more CO2 than flask #5 (yeast with flour). AND how did you know it produced m
Agata [3.3K]

Answer: Glucose

Explanation:

The carbon dioxide produced in the experiment can be directly related to the energy generated after the fermentation process. The carbon dioxide is the byproduct of the chemical reactions in the ethanolic fermentation. Glucose substrate will yield the highest energy along with the highest producer of the carbon dioxide after the fermentation process conducted by yeast as compared to the fermentation process that was conducted by yeast with flour. The flour will offer a source of carbohydrates including starch and sugars. The yeast will find out sugar in the flour and ferment it. Glucose is readily available sugar for the action of yeast so more production of carbon dioxide is expected from glucose substrate.
