Which of the following are mechanisms utilized by cells to resist the effects of an antimicrobial agent? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY

Group of answer choices

They may abandon metabolic pathways, and instead begin acquiring the metabolite from their environment.

They may alter the target of the drug to prevent the antimicrobial from binding to the target.

They may utilize membrane-localized efflux pumps that act to remove the antimicrobial from the cell.

The may change the structure or charge of pore proteins thereby preventing entry of the antimicrobial agent

They may secrete enzymes that destroy the chemical structure of the antibiotic.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

Why reason best illustrates why hershey and chase chose to use viruses in their experiment?

The equation shows cellular respiration. during cellular respiration, glucose combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water, and atp. what happens to the energy in the bonds in glucose? the energy is transferred to oxygen. the energy is transferred to carbon dioxide. the energy is transferred to water. the energy is transferred to atp.
