Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

We define antibiotic susceptibility testing as an evaluation of the ability of  antibiotics to inhibit bacterial growth. This test is necessary because certain bacteria may have developed resistance to certain antibiotics.

Hence, if the antibiotic susceptibility testing result of Staphylococcus aureus showed absence of growth on the zones of penicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol disk, then it implies that these antibiotics are all largely effective against Staphylococcus aureus and could be used for treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infection.

Identify each event as the result of mechanical weathering or chemical weathering.
kow [346]

<h3><u>The following events are identified as chemical weathering:</u></h3>
  • The minerals in a marble statue react with water to form acids and pores in the structure.
  • The rocks in a region are streaked orange after being exposed to repeated rains.

<em><u>Reason: </u></em>

When the weathering process occurs due to <em>chemical reaction</em>, then it is considered as chemical weathering.

In <em>the first case</em>, minerals of marble statue are <em>reacting</em> with water to cause weathering. In the <em>second case</em>, due to the <em>acidificaion reaction</em>, the change of the color has happened after exposure to the repeated rains.

<h3><u>The following events are identified as Mechanical weathering:</u></h3>
  • A piece of rock crumbles after being constantly thrashed by strong waves.
  • Industrial runoff forms cracks in a rocky structure in its path.

<em><u>Reason:</u></em>

When the rock is broken into simple pieces <em>without any chemical reaction </em>it is considered as mechanical weathering.

In the <em>first cause</em>, due to the <em>abrasion</em> caused by the strong waves, weathering has happened, in the <em>second case</em> industrial run off may be of varying temperature and thus may cause <em>heating or cooling</em> of the rock and causes weathering.

Define the components of blood and briefly describe their role.
Grace [21]
Tha main components in blood are the plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and blood platelets.

Plasma is like the main component that makes up most of the blood. It has a light yellow color and it carries many substances including nutrients, waste, hormones and more.

Red blood cells are the reason why blood is red in color. They have a hemoglobin inside them which can help carry oxygen for the tissues and organs. In order to maximize the oxygen carrying capacity, they don't have a nucleus.

White blood cells can be divided into phagocytes and lymphocytes. Their main function is to protect us from diseases. Phahocytes and engulf and digest bacteria, while lymphocytes can produce antibodies.

Blood platelets can cause blood clotting which can stop us from bleeding forever. They're not cells, but just fragments of cells. They also don't have nucleus since they're not complete cells.
