7 0

Answer:

The constant motion of particles in a gas allows a gas to fill a container of any shape or size. Particles in a gas are in constant, random motion. The motion of one particle is unaffected by the motion of other particles unless the particles collide.

Use your completed Fossil Primate Chart (on pp. 393–394) to answer the following questions. What geographic region(s) have numer
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Africa, Madagascar, Asia, and the New World.

Explanation:

Africa, Madagascar, Asia, and the New World are the geographic regions have numerous fossil primate discoveries. Fossil primates to be rare in the temperate regions because only a small fraction of the primates that have ever lived has been preserved as fossils due to of climatic and geological conditions of the region. The strepsirhines like fossil primate containing wet-nosed primates, whereas haplorhines like fossil primate containing dry-nosed primates. These traits suggest that the living primates are evolved from these extent primates so that's why they are classified in the same phylum.

Sieve-tube cells and companion cells work together to transport
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

A) Tissue

Explanation:

Cells are the basic and fundamental units of all living organisms. Plants, like every other multicellular living organisms, are composed of cells that perform different functions. A group of cells that perform similar functions make up or form TISSUES, tissues that work together form the ORGAN, organs that work together to perform same function form the ORGAN SYSTEM.

In plants, sieve tubes and companion cells work together to carry out a similar task in plants, which is to transport nutrients and sugar inside the plant. Since sieve tubes and companion cells work together to fulfil same task, they collectively form a tissue in plants called PHLOEM tissue.

Anna35 [415]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Repeated use of chemical fertilizers has several adverse impacts. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Chemical fertilizers are used to increase crop yield and raise agricultural productivity.</em>  But a land loses its fertility over the years due to repeated fertilizer use.

<em>Excess use of fertiliser makes the soil acidicby reducing the organic content of the soil.  </em>

When the amount of chemical fertilizers containing nitrogen is applied is beyond the amount that can be absorbed by the plants, it results in the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.  

<em>When the fertilizers are washed into water bodies their nutrient content increases heavily and this depletes the oxygen in water. </em>

Why do resistant bacteria multiply faster after a patient has taken antibiotics compared to a healthy person who has not taken a
Alenkasestr [34]

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:
  1. Render the antibiotic ineffective to act on its target by inducing chemical modifications on the drug.
  2. 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):
  1. A competition develops for the host cells and nutrients between the sensitive and the resistant variety.
  2. 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:
  1. The sensitive variety, due to its sensitivity towards the drug, gets killed.
  2. The resistant variety, due to its MDR genes, bypasses the lethal effect of the drug and survives.
  3. 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.
