It is crucial to be aware of and respect the environment because you live off of it. Our earth provides us air, energy, food, and the resources we need to live. When we don't keep our environment clean, and disrespect it, it won't be in as good condition as it should be, and could potentially die out from being mistreated. We need to be aware of our environment to know what we need to do to cater to its needs, so it can cater to ours.
Answer:
Louis Pasteur, by observing that the microbes were in the air and contaminated the broth helped determine that all the cells came from pre-existing cells (option b), one of the postulates of the cell theory.
Explanation:
Louis Pasteur's experiments, conducted around 1860, showed that unicellular organisms appeared in a culture broth only if it was exposed to the air, where other microorganisms were present, thus disproving the hypothesis of spontaneous generation.
On the other hand, in the broth that was not exposed to the air Pasteur did not observe microorganisms.
By rejecting the hypothesis of spontaneous generation through his experiment, Louis Pasteur reaffirmed the postulate of the cell theory that proposes that all cells come from preexisting cells.
The other options are not correct due to:
<em> a and c. </em><em><u>All animals are made of cells
</u></em><em> and </em><em><u>cell is the basic functional unit of living things</u></em><em> are postulates of the cellular theory that were not demonstrated by Pasteur's experiment.</em>
<em> d. </em><em><u>Unicellular organisms inherit an exact copy of DNA from the parent cell</u></em><em> is not a postulate of cell theory.</em>

Answer:
When patient takes in antibiotics the resistance bacteria gets a competitive survival advantage over the normal sensitive bacteria and hence grows faster.
Explanation:
- Bacteria can acquire resistance by taking in plasmids containing MDR (Multi-Drug Resistance) gene cassettes. The MDR genes produces proteins that can:
- Render the antibiotic ineffective to act on its target by inducing chemical modifications on the drug.
- Promote efflux of the drug from the bacterial cell so that the drug cannot act upon its target.
- When a healthy person ( having no prior exposure to the antibiotic) is infected by bacteria ( both sensitive and resistant varieties):
- A competition develops for the host cells and nutrients between the sensitive and the resistant variety.
- This mutual competition restricts either of the sensitive or resistant bacterial strain to grow profusely.
- When a person (having prior antibiotic exposure), gets infected by bacteria ( both sensitive and resistant varieties) and is exposed to the same antibiotic:
- The sensitive variety, due to its sensitivity towards the drug, gets killed.
- The resistant variety, due to its MDR genes, bypasses the lethal effect of the drug and survives.
- These surviving resistant bacteria can now infect all the available host cells and utilise all the available nutrients without facing any competition and multiply rapidly.
