The answer is; Pepsin

Pepsin is first secreted by the chief cells of the stomach wall and the inactive precursor called pepsinogen. When pepsinogen interacts with the acidic environment of the stomach due to hydrochloric acid, it is turned to pepsin. The pepsin breaks down large protein molecules to smaller molecules.

What role does evolution play in the emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria?

tiny-mole [99]

1.Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.

2. Bacteria evolve quickly because they grow fast and can share genes. Helpful mutations spread quickly in bacteria.

3.Taking antibiotics too often or for the wrong reasons can change bacteria so much that antibiotics don't work against them. This is called bacterial resistance or antibiotic resistance

4. Antibiotic resistance leads to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality. The world urgently needs to change the way it prescribes and uses antibiotics.

An opportunistic predator switches prey, capturing whichever prey species is most abundant. As soon as the prey numbers dwindle

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is keystone predator.

Explanation:

In sustaining the composition of an ecological community, a keystone species plays an essential function. In the absence of keystone species, the ecosystem would fail to exist and would become drastically different. A predator is a classic illustration of a predator, which inhibits a specific herbivorous species from eradicating the dominant species of plants. In the non-existence of predators, the herbivorous prey would increase enormously and would clean the entire essential plant species, and thus, drastically change the significance of the ecosystem.
