Answer:

Some bacteria due to their structures and physiology are inherently resistant to some antibiotics. This could be due to lacking transport mechanism or lacking receptor sites. Bacterium develop resistance mechanisms by using instructions provided by their DNA. Resistance genes are often found in plasmids which are small pieces of DNA that carry genetic instructions from one germ to another. Meaning that some bacteria can share their DNA and cam make other germs become resistant.

I hope this can help you and that it was clear.

Many marine organisms depend on up welling to bring nutrients to the surface. How might El Nino affect a fisherman's way of life

svp [43]

During an El Nino, warm water gathers along the West coast of South America, so the nutrient rich water is no longer being upwelled. keeping in mind that cold water sinks and warm water rises, usually the warm water near coastal regions would not be full of nutrients compared to the cold water where the nutrients fall. therefore, more fish will be located or migrate to areas of this nutrient rich cold water instead. So, many fishermen would not have high yields of fish ultimately affecting their way of life and money. also a lot of these fish that remain at the surface would not be as healthy or nutrient rich.

hope that helps! :))
