6 0

Answer:

Ammonites, , Brachiopod, Grapolithina, Trilobites and Nanofossils are examples of index fossils

Explanation:

Ammonites were common during the Mesozoic Era (245 to 65 mya), but were not found after the Cretaceous period. They went extinct during the K-T extinction (65 mya)

Brachiopods which are mollusk-like marine animals appeared during the Cambrian (540 to 500 mya). Some types of them still survive

Grapolithina which are widespread colonial marine hemichordates that also lived during the Cambrian period.

Nanofossils are microscopic fossils which are remains of calcareous nannoplankton, coccolithophores from various eras

Trilobites were common during the Paleozoic Era (540 to 245 mya); about half of the Paleozoic fossils are Trilobites. Trilobites evolved at the beginning of the Paleozoic Era and went extinct somewhere in the late Permian period which was 248 million years ago

Why do resistant bacteria multiply faster after a patient has taken antibiotics compared to a healthy person who has not taken a
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

When patient takes in antibiotics the resistance bacteria gets a competitive survival advantage over the normal sensitive bacteria and hence grows faster.

Explanation:

  • Bacteria can acquire resistance by taking in plasmids containing MDR (Multi-Drug Resistance) gene cassettes. The MDR genes produces proteins that can:
  1. Render the antibiotic ineffective to act on its target by inducing chemical modifications on the drug.
  2. Promote efflux of the drug from the bacterial cell so that the drug cannot act upon its target.
  • When a healthy person ( having no prior exposure to the antibiotic) is infected by bacteria ( both sensitive and resistant varieties):
  1. A competition develops for the host cells and nutrients between the sensitive and the resistant variety.
  2. This mutual competition restricts either of the sensitive or resistant bacterial strain to grow profusely.
  • When a person (having prior antibiotic exposure), gets infected by bacteria ( both sensitive and resistant varieties) and is exposed to the same antibiotic:
  1. The sensitive variety, due to its sensitivity towards the drug, gets killed.
  2. The resistant variety, due to its MDR genes, bypasses the lethal effect of the drug and survives.
  3. These surviving resistant bacteria can now infect all the available host cells and utilise all the available nutrients without facing any competition and multiply rapidly.

natali 33 [55]
The element starts off as 100%. half of 100% is 50% and half of 50% is 25%. the element has emitted 2 times the half life which is 10,000 x 2 = 20,000
