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:
- 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.
- 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).
- 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).
- Decreased drug accumulation: Microbial efflux pumps remove the antimicrobial agent (before it could do any damage) by pumping it out of the cell.
- Decrease in cell permeability: The permeability of the microbial envelope to the antimicrobial agent is decreased

Answer:
Explanation:
Paleontologists are scientists that study the history/existence of past lives by collecting and examining fossils. They use these fossils to determine the history and age an organism has existed. Fossils are remains of dead organisms (plants and animals) which serve as evidence of past lives that have existed on earth in the past. They could include bone remains or footprint of this animals.
Fossils (from bones) are however mostly incomplete because they decompose before they are "stored naturally" by sediments which covers them. When scientists discover this incomplete fossils, they are compared (if there has been similar fossils discovered before then) and are stored and transferred to the lab for examination. This examination includes anatomical comparison (to determine relatedness with other fossils/organisms), carbon dating (to determine age) and data comparison (which includes location and type of soil and habitat).
