Binary fission refers to the type of asexual reproduction. It is the most general kind of reproduction in prokaryotes like bacteria. It takes place in some unicellular cells like Paramecium and Amoeba.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Do not keep the tap running, when washing your hands.
Do not shower every day.
When showering, get in, shut the tap down. While still wet in the shower, but without the water running, start to apply soap and shampoo. Wait a bit and the start the water again to wash it all off. Get out asap.
Do not keep the hose running, when cleaning your car.
Preferably, do <em>not</em> use a hose, but use a broom, to clean the driveway or sidewalk.
Cover the swimming pool, in order to reduce extensive evaporation.
Check for leaks in pipes, hoses, (dripping) faucets and couplings.
If at all possible, reuse wastewater as much as you can.
Answer:
Suspension feeding involves collecting food particles like small organisms, organic matter, detritus which are suspended in water, often using some form of filtration.
Suspension feeders catch food or organic material from the water using tentacles or spiny arms
where as
Deposit feeding involves feasting on detritus and organic matter that have settled on the ocean floor.
Deposit feeders pass sand, mud, water or sediment into their mouths using mucous-covered tentacles or arms etc.
Explanation:
Answer:
Penicillin:
Staphylococcus epidermidis is more sensitive to Penicillin as compared to E. coli
Novobiocin:
Staphylococcus epidermidis is more sensitive to Novobiocin as compared to E. coli.
Gentamicin:
E. coli isolates showed high rates of resistance to gentamicin as compared to Staphylococcus epidermidis
Explanation:
Kirby-Bauer diffusion test:
This test is also known as disk diffusion antibiotic sensitivity testing. This test uses antibiotic containing disks to test its inhibition against particular bacteria.
Staphylococcus epidermidis:
Gram-positive bacterium, which is part of the normal human flora and found mostly in skin flora but less commonly in mucosal flora.
E. coli
Gram-negative bacteria because its cell wall have an additional layer. During the staining process, it stains negative as compared to gram positive bacteria.
Penicillin:
This antibiotic kills bacteria by inhibiting the final step in cell wall biosynthesis, hence penicillin is most effective against gram-positive bacteria. Hence Staphylococcus epidermidis is more sensitive to Penicillin as compared to E. coli
Novobiocin:
Antibiotics which inhibits bacterial DNA synthesis. Its targets are the bacterial DNA gyrase and associated enzyme DNA topoisomerase. Due to extra membrane present outside gram negative bacteria this antibiotic is less effective against E. coli. Hence Staphylococcus epidermidis is more sensitive to Novobiocin as compared to E. coli.
Gentamicin:
Gentamicin is the broad spectrum antibiotic Its mode of action involves bacterial protein synthesis inhibition by binding to 30S ribosomes. E. coli isolates showed high rates of resistance to gentamicin as compared to Staphylococcus epidermidis
