Biology
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.

Structure moves up against epiglottis when food is swallowed to prevent passage of food into it.
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The larynx moves up against epiglottis when food is swallowed to prevent passage of food into it.

Explanation:

The epiglottis is a moist, cartilaginous structure that is part of the cartilaginous skeleton of the larynx. It also marks the boundary between the oropharynx and the laryngopharynx. The epiglottis obstructs the passage of the bolus at the time of swallowing preventing it from going to the respiratory system.

Larynx closure occurs when the vestibular and vocal folds approach the midline during swallowing. Occasionally, when you eat very fast, solid foods or liquids can enter the larynx.

What would happen to a living organism if it were exposed to chemical capable of breaking down phospholipid bilayers
Ber [7]

The purpose of the cell membrane is to hold the different components of the cell together and to protect it from the environment outside the cell. The cell membrane also regulates what enters and exits the cell so that it doesn’t lose too many nutrients, or take in too many ions. It also does a pretty good job of keeping harmful things out.Ions and large polar molecules cannot pass through the lipid bilayer. But more specifically, whether a molecule can pass through the membrane depends on its size and its electrical nature. The membrane is highly permeable to non-polar (fat-soluble) molecule.
