A pathogenic strain of bacteria has become resistant to an antibiotic that once could kill it. What has happened to these bacter

ia to make this happen?
-Most of the bacteria make changes to their DNA to protect themselves, making themselves immune to future attacks.
-Only the few bacteria that were immune to the antibiotic survived and reproduced, making all their offspring immune to it as well.
-Some of the bacterial cells were able to produce toxins against the antibiotics, making them more likely to survive.
-The bacterial cells learned to remove the receptors on their cell surfaces.

The answer is <span>-Only the few bacteria that were immune to the antibiotic survived and reproduced, making all their offspring immune to it as well.

Bacteria (or any other organism) are not able to make changes to their DNA in order to protect themselves or to learn to remove the receptors on their cell surfaces. If they were able to produce toxins against the antibiotics, they would all survive.
These leave the second choice as the correct answer. This is the real situation, and is a good example of natural selection.</span>

The nucleus of "Lead-208", 208 82 Pb, has 82 protons within a sphere of radius 6.34×10-15 m. Each electric charge has a value of
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

2.94 × 10²⁰ N/C

Explanation:

Given that:  

The nucleus of "Lead-208 has 82 protons,

with a radius (r) 6.34×10-15 m, &

each electric charge has a value of 1.60218 × 10^-19 C

∴ The formula for calculating an electrical field at the surface of the nucleus is:

 E=\frac{k*q}{r^2}  

Substituting our values into the equation above, we have;

 E = \frac{8.98755*10^8*82(1.60218*10^{-19C)}}{(6.34*10^{-15}_m)^2}

E = 2.93870499×10²⁰ N/C

E ≅ 2.94 × 10²⁰ N/C
