Recently the tiger population has increased. What will likely happen to the worm population? * A: increase. The larger tiger population will lead to fewer wild pigs. The smaller wild pig population will need fewer energy storage molecules to reproduce, so they will eat fewer worms.

b: increase. An increase in the size of any population leads to an increase in the sizes of all other populations in an ecosystem.

c: stay the same. Tigers do not eat worms, so the number of births and deaths in the worm population will stay the same.

d: decrease. The larger tiger population will leave fewer energy storage molecules available in the ecosystem for the worm population.

In 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? in 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? staphylococcus aureus bacteria that were able to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, some bacteria began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin. these bacteria survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, bacterial populations gradually began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin.

When new rock is added to an oceanic ridge, the magnetized strips on either side of the ridge are evidence of sea-floor spreading. this is because the rocks on the two sides of the ridge o are equal in width and in polarity are polar opposites oare magnetized vary in width but are equal in polarity
