Explain how the excessive or inappropriate use of antibiotics poses a health hazards for human population?
Antibiotics are substances which kill or inhibit bacteria. The problem lies in the fact that bacteria tend to have fairly high mutation rates. These mutation rates yield some bacteria which are more resistant to the antibiotics than other bacteria. Since you have used an antibiotic to destroy all other bacteria in a person, the resistant bacteria is free to spread as much as it can, since the antibiotic used won't kill it. If this is the case, then the person would have to get a different, more appropriate antibiotic to kill the bacteria. In some cases, this can be done multiple times, and you end up with a super-bacteria called multi-antibiotic resistant bacteria. As use of antibiotics spread, so do strains of these MAR bacteria, which are much more deadly than their relatives
So what can be done? First, use antibiotics less. Studies show that they are over-prescribed. Second, ensure that the proper antibiotic is prescribed. In some cases, an antibiotic which is incorrect for the job to be done is one of the culprits.

How could you explain the increase of infection in hospitals by antibiotic-resistance bacterial?
The increase in infections in hospitals due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria is primarily caused by overuse and misuse of antibiotics. This leads to the development of resistant strains that are difficult to treat with conventional antibiotics. In hospitals, where patients with weakened immune systems are concentrated, these resistant bacteria can spread easily, leading to outbreaks of infections that are challenging to control.
One hypothesis to explain why the population exceeded it's carrying capacity in 1992?
One hypothesis to explain why the population exceeded its carrying capacity in 1992 could be rapid advancements in agricultural technology, which increased food production and temporarily supported a larger population. Additionally, improved healthcare and reduced mortality rates may have led to a population boom, further straining available resources. Environmental factors, such as favorable climate conditions that year, could have also contributed to the surge in population. These factors combined may have created a situation where the population overshot the sustainable limits of its environment.
Is there any evidence that the traits shared by most of the population is not controlled by a dominant allele explain?
The presence of a dominant allele is not always required to explain common traits in a population. Polygenic inheritance, where multiple genes contribute to a trait, can lead to common traits without a dominant allele. Additionally, environmental factors can also play a significant role in shaping common traits among a population.
How would you explain survival mechanisms of bacteria at the individual and population levels?
At the individual level, bacteria employ survival mechanisms such as forming biofilms, producing protective spores, and developing resistance to antibiotics through genetic mutations. These adaptations enhance their ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions and antimicrobial threats. At the population level, bacteria utilize strategies like quorum sensing to coordinate group behaviors, enabling them to respond collectively to changes in their environment and optimize resource utilization. This combination of individual and collective strategies allows bacterial populations to thrive in diverse and challenging conditions.
Explain why antibiotics are effective at killing bacterial cells but do not seem to have an impact on human cells eukaryotic cells Use at least two examples such as tetracycline erythromycin?
Antibiotics target specific structures or processes unique to bacterial cells that are not present in human eukaryotic cells. For example, tetracycline interferes with bacterial protein synthesis by binding to bacterial ribosomes, while erythromycin inhibits the bacterial ribosome's ability to make proteins. Since human cells do not have the same type of ribosomes or protein synthesis mechanisms, antibiotics like tetracycline and erythromycin do not affect human cells the same way they do bacterial cells.
Why should antibiotics should not be overused explain in brief.?
The more antibiotics are used, the more likely it is for antibiotic resistant organisms to appear. explain briefly but why Bhavishya
Explain how the process of natural selection results in populations of bacteria that are not harmed by antibiotics?
The process of natural selection results in populations of bacteria that are not harmed by antibiotics because bacteria that are born with mutations that make them immune to antibiotics will be the ones to survive and reproduce.
Can you explain collecting methods for antibiotics?
In regards to penicillin type antibiotics, the mold penicillium produces a liquid that contains the antibiotic it uses to fight off competitors when its trying to consolidate a food source. Antibiotics are made by processing this liquid into a solid form.
Are antibiotics universal and explain?
Colloidal silver is a universal antibiotic. It kills over 650 different bacteria.
Can you explain the eighth amendment?
The 8th Amendment says excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
What are the possible causes of excessive engine breathing?
Perhaps you could explain your question in different terms.
Explain what can you be learned about a population from the mean?

How are antibiotics produced in human beings and explain their uses?
Human body produces antigens when it is exposed to a small amount of virulent substance.
Explain how the concepts of territory population sovereignty and government influence the development of a nation?
Explain how the concepts of territory, population, sovereignty, and government influence the development of a nation.
Is there a human equivelant to animal antibiotics that you can give a dog If so what is it and what is the dose?
The use of Antibiotics should be restricted to conditions which are likely to respond to such therapy since many antibiotics can result in major side effects including death for the pet. When prescribed by a vet they are low dose and disease specific. Using human "leftover" antibiotics is very dangerous. See below for a website that can help explain.

How do you explain the contribution of chemistry to society?
Too much to explain, a few major contributions would be: gasoline and other fuels, antibiotics and other medicines, food preservatives, and and certain things like not mixing bleach with ammonia
