Biology

Answer:

Potential Energy.

Explanation:

Potential energy, stored energy that depends on different parts of the system's relative position. When compressed or stretched, spring has more potential energy.

A stainless steel ball has more energy than it had when it fell to the world. It is able to do more work in the raised position.

Potential energy is a system's property and not a single body or particle. The earth-consistent system and raised ball, for instance, have greater potential energy as the two are more distinct.

Select the five major mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. Check All That Apply
Rudik [331]

Answer:

All the given statements are correct except b.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) refers to the ability of a microorganism to grow in the presence of drug or a chemical that would normally limit its growth or kill it.

It makes it difficult for the existing drugs to eliminate the infection as they become less effective against the microbe.

There are five major mechanisms by which a microbe attains resistance against antimicrobial chemical or drug:

  1. Drug modification or inactivation: A microbial enzyme inactivates the antimicrobial agent. For example, few bacteria produce β-lactamases which provide multi-resistance against β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporin etc.
  2. Alteration or modification of target site: An altered target site prevents the antimicrobial agent from binding to its target. For example, alteration of penicillin binding protein (PBP) in Methicillin-resistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>(MRSA).
  3. Alteration of metabolic pathway: The microbe uses an alternative pathway to circumvent the blocked pathway. For example, sulfonamides-resistant bacteria started using preformed folic acid in place of  para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA).
  4. Decreased drug accumulation: Microbial efflux pumps remove the antimicrobial agent (before it could do any damage) by pumping it out of the cell.
  5. Decrease in cell permeability: The permeability of the microbial envelope to the antimicrobial agent is decreased
