Answer:

C. When exposed to antibiotics, most bacteria in a population die but some survive and live to reproduce.

Explanation:

Darwin suggested natural selection as the mechanism that explained the evolution of species. This idea states that a population of individuals living in a certain environment is adapted to thrive in it. However, if there is a change in the environment, individuals must adapt in order to survive, otherwise they will die. Only a handful of individuals which had a particular (and random) variation before the change of the envirnonment will be able to adapt and survive. If the variation is heritable, the next generation will have that same trait and will be able to thrive in the new environment.

In the answer C., a population of bacteria is composed of some individuals which are susceptible to the antibiotic and some individuals that are resistand because they possess a mutation in their DNA that allows them to survive an environment with antibiotics. If no antibiotic is present, then both types of bacteria can survive. However, if they are exposed to the antibiotic, the previously resistant bacteria are the only ones that will be able to survive and reproduce.

Choose the term that best matches the description given. Treatments that destroy or decrease the growth of a microbe infection i
swat32

Answer: The correct option is D (Antimicrobials).

Explanation:

Antimicrobial treatment is defined as therapies that are given to patients to either inhibit or kill the growth of microorganisms IN their body cells. The antimicrobial treatment can be grouped into two based on their mechanism of action. These includes:

--> Microbiocidal therapy: This type of treatment when given, kills the microorganisms in the cells of the patient.

--> Microbiostatic therapy: This type of treatment aims at inhibiting the growth of microorganisms when administered to a patient.

The antimicrobial drugs achieve their role usually through their different modes of action which includes:

--> cell wall inhibition

--> inhibition of cell membrane function

--> protein and nucleic acid synthesis inhibition.

Disinfects, antiseptic and sterilisation are all different ways of eliminating microorganisms but not used as invitro (within) treatment for patients. Therefore the term that best matches the description given is antimicrobials.

In this equation for photosynthesis where does the first reactant come from and what happens to it in the photosynthetic process
Amanda [17]
A stands out most to me, CO comes from the air and air is basically oxygen we breath. When we exhale CO comes out (of course). I would say A is correct.
