Answer:

A) Propose two ways in which antibiotic resistance may develop in a bacterium?

Antibiotic resistance may develop in a bacterium through A GENETIC MUTATION and BY REQUIRING RESISTANCE FROM ANOTHER BACTERIUM

B.) Describe how bacterial cells acquire the ability to produce toxins?

The virulent strains of bacteria as in Corynebacterium diphtheria, and Streptococcus pyogenes all manufacture toxins with weighty physiological impacts, unlike the nonvirulent strains which do not manufacture toxins. The toxins are generated by a bacteriophage gene that has been received by transduction.

How would a geologist use absolute dating to determine the age of sedimentary layers? by dating the age of intrusions and extrus
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Radiometric dating methods

Explanation:

Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a chronological or specified time scale in which events occurred in archaeology and geology. Absolute dating can be determined by using properties of the atoms that make up materials.

The most common method of absolute dating uses by geologists is radiometric dating methods which is based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon found in the rocks. By comparing the ratio of parent isotope with a known half-life to daughter product in the rock, the age of the rock can be determined.

The carbon-14 isotope is used in radiocarbon dating, but is only useful for measuring recently formed rocks in the geologic past. The decay of Potassium-40 isotope known as potassium-argon (K-Ar) method allows dating of materials that up to 1,000 billion years old.

Explain how consuming an acid neutralizing antacid might affect protein digestion. Apply the concept of activation energy to sup
Deffense [45]

In the stomach, the enzyme pepsin has the function to break proteins into smaller units-polypeptides. Pepsin is synthesized and secreted in an inactive form- pepsinogen. Activation energy (the minimum amount of energy that is required to activate an enzyme) is achieved in the acidic medium (pH from 1 to 3). So, the activation of pepsin (conversion of pepsinogen to pepsin) is possible thanks to the cells in the stomach lining which produce hydrochloric acid (HCl), causing the stomach contents to have a low pH.

Antacids neutralize the acid made by the stomach, affecting the digestion.

Answer:

The chloroplast is involved in both stages of photosynthesis. The light reactions take place in the thylakoid. There, water (H2O) is oxidized, and oxygen (O2) is released. The electrons that freed from the water are transferred to ATP and NADPh
