I believe the answer is energy. Hope this helps. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question so I had to look for it. Anyway, here is the answer. The statement about wildfires in deciduous forests that is not true is this: <span>Deciduous forests are unaffected by wildfires. Hope this answers your question.</span>
Antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations has followed close upon the heels of the widespread use of antibiotics.
As antibiotic-resistant bacteria thrive and sensitive bacteria die, the proportion of resistant cells in a population increases dramatically. These resistant cells continue to undergo binary fission, resulting in an infection that is difficult to treat.
The ability of bacterial populations to evolve resistance requires genetic variation.
Mutation is one source of genetic variation. The large population sizes and rapid reproduction of bacterial populations means that even with a low mutation rate, a significant number of mutations are seen in bacterial populations. Some of these mutations contribute to antibiotic resistance.
Processes such as conjugation allow for genes to be exchanged among bacteria. Because conjugation can occur between bacterial cells of the same species or of different species, antibiotic resistance sometimes spreads surprisingly easily from one species of bacteria to another.
A single R plasmid may have genes that provide resistance to ten or more different antibiotics. This is especially problematic when bacteria that are serious health threats become resistant to multiple antibiotics. For example, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are caused by bacteria that have evolved resistance to most of the antibiotics that were once used to treat staph infections. MRSA is becoming increasingly difficult to treat.
I'm not sure what YOU already know about photosynthesis and cellular respiration.... however, you SHOULD know that the two are beautifully linked to one another!
Photosynthesis equation:
6CO2+6H2O -> C6H12O6+H2O
Cellular respiration
C6H12O6+H2O -> 6CO2+6H2O
Notice something? The substrates of one equation are the products of the other! We rely on plants for their photosynthetic reactions - and plants benefit from us (not really because there is already a TON of CO2 in the atmosphere) from our cellular respiration
***we like their oxygen and they like our carbon dioxide!
:) I hope that helps! Let me know if you need any more elaboration!
