What is the best explanation for why a bacteriostatic treatment might be chosen over a bacteriocidal treatment? Bacteriostatic treatments will eliminate all bacteria while bacteriocidal treatments will only eliminate a portion of the bacteria. Bacteriostatic treatments typically have lower toxicity to the host when compared to bacteriocidal treatments. Bacteriostatic treatments will prevent all bacterial growth, while bacteriocidal treatments will permit some bacterial growth. Bacteriostatic treatments are typically more costly than bacteriocidal treatments.

- Do bacteria and archaea have more or less diversity than eukaryotic organisms? Choose the best reason why or why not. Group of answer choices Bacteria and archaea are LESS diverse. One reason is that they cannot become resistant to antibiotics. Bacteria and archaea are MORE diverse. One reason is that they transfer genes asexually through horizontal gene transfer. Bacteria and archaea are MORE diverse. One reason is that they can become resistant to antibiotics. Bacteria and archaea are LESS diverse. One reason is that they transfer genes asexually through horizontal gene transfer.arrow_forwardBacteria have three major methods of resisting antibiotics. They may lack (or modify) the feature that the antibiotic targets, so that the drug has little or no effect. The may have an enzyme that helps them break down and inactivate the antibiotic.

- What are the flaws ? Prokaryotes can live in many different environments. Anerobic organisms need oxygen to survive, while aerobic organisms can survive without oxygen. Autotrophs are organisms that can assemble high energy macromolecules for their energy. Chemotrophs are organisms that capture energy from light. Extremophiles are organisms that grow in extreme conditions like boiling water. Gram-positive bacteria have few layers of peptidoglycan, while gram-negative bacteria have many layers of peptidoglycan and are surrounded by an outer membrane. Harmful bacteria can cause illness like food poisoning. Helpful bacteria can be used in food production to make yogurt. The endosymbiotic theory states that some of the organelles in eukaryotes were once free living prokaryotes. This is supported by the mitochondria and cytoplasm since they have their own DNA and ribosomes. Harmful protists can cause diseases like malaria in humans and downy mildew in plants. Helpful protists can be…arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a probiotic and prebiotic? Group of answer choices Prebiotics are natural chemicals present in food, whereas probiotics are artificial chemicals added to food to improve their nutritional value Prebiotics are living microbes that transform food, whereas probiotics are microbes grown in the lab and added to food. A prebiotic is a microbe acquired before birth, whereas a probiotic is a microbe acquired after birth A prebiotic serves as food for probiotics, which are consumable live microbes with health benefitsarrow_forwardconsider the following terms: Envelope Fusion Gene therapy Pathogen Vaccine Capsule Decomposer Epidemic Mold Spore Yeast Choose 2 terms from the list and answer the following questions for each term: What familiarity and prior knowledge do you have about the term?

How is the term related to the course student learning outcome: Describe classifications of biological diversity? What are the similarities and differences between the everyday and technical meanings and uses of the term?

- In the domain system of classification, prokaryotes are divided into two domains: Bacteria and Archaea. The two domains differ in all BUT one feature. Which feature do they have in common? Question options: They both have identical cell walls. They both have prokaryotic cells. They both thrive in extreme environments. They both are able to live only under anaerobic conditions.arrow_forwardA mutation occurs in a single bacterium that causes it to produce a new enzyme. This enzyme helps the bacterium process nutrients more efficiently, increasing the bacterium's odds of survival. Every 30 minutes, the bacteria in the colony divide, passing their genes on to their offspring. Some bacteria survive, while others do not. Because resources are limited, the colony has a steady population of 114 bacteria. The bacterial colony is shown below at three different time intervals. The picture would be here: Assume that the survival trend shown in the diagram continues. At 3.0 hours, the mutant bacteria will make up _____ percent of the entire colony.arrow_forwardAntibiotic resistant bacteria have become a major concern for many public health officials. Widespread use of antibiotics has created an evolutionary pressure on infectious bacteria to develop immunity to these medications. The result is an increase in antibiotic resistant microbes, particularly in settings where antibiotics are commonly used, such as hospitals. One strategy public health officials have devised to counteract these infectious microbes is "antibiotic cycling” where specific antibiotics are withdrawn from the market for a period of several years, then reintroduced as another antibiotic is withdrawn. How would this strategy help limit antibiotic resistance? A. It is impossible for a bacterium to maintain resistance to two antibiotics at once B. When a given antibiotic is not in use, it is an evolutionary disadvantage to carry the unneeded gene C. If a specific antibiotic is removed from the market it is possible to substitute with a related antibiotic such as…arrow_forward
