Answer:

Antibiotics are medicines that help stop infections caused by bacteria. They do this by killing the bacteria or by keeping them from copying themselves or reproducing. The word antibiotic means “against life.” Any drug that kills germs in your body is technically an antibiotic.

makes up the majority of a plant

Explanation:

Ground tissues are one of the three types of plant tissues (others being dermal and vascular). They are composed of cells as follows: parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma. These three cells that make up the ground tissues perform different functions in the plant cell.

- Parenchyma functions in photosynthesis and storage of extra food (carbohydrates) in the cell.

- Collenchyma functions in the support of young regions of the plant

- Sclerenchyma, which has the thickest cell wall, functions mainly in the strengthening/support of the plant cell.

Also, among the three tissue types in a plant, ground tissues make up majority of the plant cell.

Genetic drift simulation:
Airida [17]
Unlike natural selection, genetic drift does not depend on an allele's beneficial or harmful effects. Instead, drift changes allele frequencies purely by chance, as random subsets of individuals (and the gametes of those individuals) are sampled to produce the next generation.

1. How can we identify a market for vegetables? Write.
Ratling [72]

1.

Marketing is one of the most important factors in determining the success of any fruit and vegetable farming enterprise. Marketing includes all the operations and decisions made by producers. These decisions range from deter-mining the most marketable crops for production to deciding how to best deliver quality produce to the consumers at a profit. However, contrary to popular belief, marketing does not begin after a crop is produced. Instead, marketing alternatives need to be considered even before production takes place.

2.

Recent environmental and food safety concerns in the United States produce sector have brought about increasing interest in organic fruit and vegetable production as an alternative to traditional fruit and vegetable enterprises. As a result, the production and marketing of organic crops has expanded steadily during the 1980s. However, as more organic producers enter the industry and it becomes more and more competitive, existing producers are forced to become better growers and more effective marketers.

Answer:

Coal.

Explanation:

Steam power plant has the lowest efficiency in electricity production which can only be run with the use of fossil fuels such as coal. The efficiency of this power plant is the lowest because large amount of coal is converted into smoke and other gases and very less amount of coal into heat energy. This coal is used to produce heat energy which can be used in the heating of water to produce steam. This steam is used to move turbines which turn mechanical energy into electric energy.
