One problem with using pesticides to control insects on crops is that the insects can develop resistance to the chemicals. How i

s this similar to the overuse of antibiotics?

USPshnik [31]4 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Overuse of antibiotics leads to bacteria's resistance against our drugs. This is increasing at an alarming rate and the reason is that overuse of antibiotics kills bacteria that lack the "resistance" gene or gene that can help them survive the antibiotics (similar is the case for insects that die to insecticides). But, some bacteria can have random mutations in their gene that can help them survive the antibiotic (similar is the case for some insects that can survive the insecticide), thus the surviving bacteria give rise to next generation of bacteria that are resistant to the given antibiotic (similar to how insects that survive the insecticide give birth to new insects that are resistant to insecticide too). Soon, every generation adds new antibiotic resistant bacteria (or new insecticide resistant insects in the case of insects) which is dangerous for all of life on this planet. Therefore, both are similar in the sense that new generations of these organisms will be resistant to our weapons against them.

<span>Hydrogen ion, strictly, the nucleus of a hydrogen atom separated from its accompanying electron. Thehydrogen nucleus is made up of a particle carrying a unit positive electric charge, called a proton. The isolated hydrogen ion, represented by the symbol H +, is therefore customarily used to represent aproton.</span><span>

Kernels of corn are heated and become popcorn. Why is this a chemical change?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

When popcorn is popped, liquid inside the kernel is changed to steam. Pressure from the steam builds up inside the kernel. When the pressure reached a critical stage the kernel pops turning itself inside out. This is a physical change.

Consider the following types of electromagnetic radiation:
liq [111]

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave              Wavelength

(1) Microwave  =   1 m to 1 mm = 10^9 nm to 10^6 nm

(2) Ultraviolet  =    10 nm to 400 nm

(3) Radio waves  =   1 mm to 100 km = 10^6 nm to 10^{14}nm

(4) Infrared  =    700 nm to 1 mm

(5) X-ray  =   0.01 nm to 10 nm

(6) Visible =   400 nm t0 700 nm

a) In order of increasing wavelength:

: 5 < 2 < 6 < 4 < 1 < 3

b) Frequency of the electromagnetic wave given as:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu = frequency

\lambda = Wavelength

c = speed of light

\nu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda }

So, the increasing order of frequency:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5

c) Energy(E) of the electromagnetic wave is given by Planck's equation :

E=h\nu

E\propto \nu

So, the increasing order of energy:

: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5
