Explain why the development of antibiotics is unlikely to keep up with the emergence of new

Biology
1 answer:
Luba_88 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Antibiotics are medicines used to prevent and treat bacterial infections. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in response to the use of these medicines. Bacteria, not humans or animals, become antibiotic-resistant. These bacteria may infect humans and animals, and the infections they cause are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria. Antibiotic resistance leads to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality.

Neurons in the parasympathetic pathway use which neurotransmitters?
Kay [80]
<h2>Acetylcholine</h2>

Explanation:

  • Acetylcholine is a chemical that is found between the nerve synapses, or gaps, between nerve cells. When activated, it causes the contraction of skeletal muscles and activates glandular functions in the endocrine system. Think of acetylcholine as a mailperson; residents cannot receive their mail until he or she comes and delivers it to the mailbox. Like mailpersons who deliver the mail and move on to the next house, acetylcholine acts quickly and does not hang around. As a result, acetylcholine is rapidly broken down by another chemical substance called cholinesterase.
  • Acetylcholine was the first neurotransmitter scientists discovered, as well as the most abundant neurotransmitter in the body. A neurotransmitter is a chemical that is released by a neuron, or nerve cell, that sends a signal to another neuron across a synapse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors to affect how the signal is received. The purpose of the neurotransmitter is to either amplify or inhibit the signals sent between the neurons.
  • Acetylcholine plays an important role in the signal of muscle movement, sensation of pain, learning and memory formation, the regulation of the endocrine system and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep cycles.

Like all forms of life on Earth, all microbial cells perform three major types of activities: __________.
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

4. metabolism, growth, and evolution

Explanation:

Living organisms show different characteristics like respiration, movement, metabolism, growth, evolution, respiration, excretion, nutrition. Most of the microbes are microscopic and unicellular which means they are made up of only one cell but they are also living.

They perform three major types of activities like metabolism, growth, and evolution. This can be seen by culturing bacteria on suitable media. So in the medium, it can be observed that they consume the food present in media and extract energy from it through metabolic activities and are showing growth. All micro-organisms evolve due to mutation. So the correct answer is 4.

What gas is a reactant in cellular respiration
pochemuha

Answer:

Explanation: Although cellular respiration has multiple parts, the basic chemical equation is:

Answer: Oxygen

Explanation: Oxygen + Glucose (sugar) = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)

This equation is often broken into two parts, the reactants and the products. Reactants are the molecules that begin cellular respiration, in this case that would be oxygen and glucose. Products are what forms during cellular respiration. Here, the products are carbon dioxide, water, and energy. As the focus of this lesson is on the reactants of cellular respiration, oxygen and glucose, let's take a look at those.

Reactants--

The first reactant in the equation for cellular respiration is oxygen. Most people are familiar with oxygen since it's the primary gas needed for sustaining our lives. We obtain oxygen by simply breathing. Oxygen is highly reactive and therefore perfectly suited for driving chemical reactions such as cellular respiration. However, people may be less familiar with the second reactant in our respiration equation: glucose.
