Harman [31]

Answer: The reason for the increased number of drug-resistant bacteria being found in hospitals is due to MISUSE and OVERUSE of antibiotics.

Explanation:

Antibiotics is a type of drug that attacks bacteria microorganisms either by killing or eliminating the bacteria (that is, bactericidal) or by preventing further growth of the bacteria (that is, bacteriostatic). Antibiotics should be taken properly while being used to treat any diseases condition to prevent drug resistance by the bacteria from occurring.

The reason for the increased number of drug-resistant bacteria being found in hospitals is due to MISUSE and OVERUSE of antibiotics. This causes the bacteria to change the way they respond to these medicines making them become antibiotic resistance. When they infect an individual, the infections they cause are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria.

type a paragraph describing how the circulatory and respiratory systems work together to deliver oxygen to the body tissue and r
ch4aika [34]
The circulatory or cardiovascular system's ability to deliver oxygen throughout the body depends on proper functioning of the respiratory system. The interactions between the cardiovascular and respiratory systems are best demonstrated by following the path of a red blood cell starting in the heart and traveling through the lungs.

A red blood cell that has just returned from delivering oxygen and that has brought back carbon dioxide would be in the right upper chamber of the heart or in the right atrium. When the atrium contracts, the cell is pumped into the right lower chamber of the heart, or the right ventricle. When that ventricle contracts, the red blood cell is pumped out of the heart through the pulmonary artery to the lungs.

In the lungs, the red blood cell enters tiny blood vessels that come into close contact with the walls of the alveoli air sacs of the lungs. The carbon dioxide in the red blood cell passes through the walls into the alveoli while the oxygen in the alveoli air passes into the red blood cell. The red blood cell then returns to the heart via the pulmonary vein.

From the pulmonary vein, the red blood cell enters the left atrium of the heart and then the left ventricle. The part of the heart muscle powering the left ventricle is very strong because it has to push the blood out to the whole body. The red blood cell is pumped out of the left ventricle via the aorta artery and eventually reaches the capillaries leading to the individual cells. There the cells absorb the oxygen from the red blood cell and pass on their waste carbon dioxide. The red blood cell returns to the right atrium of the heart via the veins to complete the cycle.

These circulatory and respiratory system interactions are ones that humans and higher animals such as mammals and birds share and that represent one of the basic functions of their bodies. Only when these two systems work and interact properly can the human or animal carry out other functions such as looking for food or reproducing.

What is a metabolic pathway? see section 16.1 (page 337) . view available hint(s) what is a metabolic pathway? see section 16.1
Lunna [17]

The answer is a ‘series of steps in which enzymes work one at a time to convert a compound to a related compound’. The intermediate products of metabolic pathways are called metabolites. An example of a metabolic cycle is the Glycolysis and Krebs cycles. The product in each step of the metabolic pathways becomes the substrate of the next step in the pathway. There are two types of metabolic pathways; anabolic and catabolic
