How do some of non-resistant bacteria become antibiotic-resistant

When an antibiotic is given for a non- resistant bacteria it inactivates or kills the bacteria however some microbes do not die and survive and multiply and pass the infection to other people making the bacteria antibiotic resistant.

Explanation:

The antibiotic resistant bacteria are those that are able to resist the effect of antibiotic and renders them ineffective that was once able to kill or inactivate bacteria.

While antibiotic non-resistant bacteria are those that are not able to resist the effect of antibody.

The reason some non-resistant bacteria becomes resistant is that a mutation in the nonresistant bacteria may occur or continuous exposure of the antibiotic would make it resistant to it.

Every time an antibiotic is taken for some bacterial infection it kills the bacteria but some that survive become resistant and grow in numbers and get transfer to other people causing them to be antibiotic resistance. The infection transfer to other people would not be treated by once used antibiotic as the microbe has become resistant.

During the cell replication due to some mutation caused they get resistant to antibiotic by a process called selective pressure.

A science student makes the following statement.Based on the data, we determined that plant growth is affected by the type of so

gogolik [260]

Answer:

the conclusion

Explanation:

You could find the answer using the steps of scientific experiment

the steps are:

Get purpose.

build up a hypothesis.

Test the hypothesis and collect data.

Analyze the data.

Draw conclusion.

Communicate results with others

In this case we could see that a student is trying to determine if plant's growth are affected by the type of soil we use, by seeing the steps of the scientific method, we could say that this is the last step of the experiment. So, it is considered as the conclusion.

Since hemoglobin is attracted more to carbon monoxide than it is to oxygen, what is likely to happen to a person if he breathes

vodomira [7]

C. He could suffocate from lack of oxygen in his blood.

Given the statement that hemoglobin (used to transport oxygen throughout our body) is more attracted to carbon monoxide, it is highly likely that most, if not all, the hemoglobin in a human body will be bound to carbon monoxide instead of oxygen when a person inhales too much carbon monoxide. This results in a lack of hemoglobin carrying oxygen to the cells of the body. Oxygen deficiency occurs.
