Antibiotics need to be used with caution because of evolution. If you treat bacteria with an antibiotic, some will be resistant by sheer chance. Those ones will survive and go on to divide - producing more antibiotic resistant bacteria. With medical antibiotics, they must be taken for the entire course. Even after symptoms have passed, bacteria remain in the body. If a patient stops taking antibiotics too early, the survivors can keep dividing and cause a new antibiotic resistant infection. With the normal course of medication, antibiotics kill off enough bacteria and keep them at bay long enough for the immune system to finish the job and take care of any resistant stragglers.

The real danger, though, comes from antibiotic use in livestock. It's more cost effective to feed cattle with a constant supply of antibiotics, whether they're sick or not (as opposed to just treating them when they're sick). These antibiotics keep them from getting sick, but it means that eventually bacteria adapt to them and gain resistant. To make matters worse, the antibiotics are often passed from their bodies in their waste, which can go on to contaminate waterways. This can disrupt ecosystems and produce antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the wild. This type of usage is of much more concern because of its scale - there are far more cows on antibiotics than people

Answer from: Quest

answer: angiosperms

dicots

angiosperms are highly evolved plants, they produce seeds which are enclosed within in a carple. these are the largest group of plants on earth. they include trees, shrubs, herbs and small flowering plants. angiosperms exhibit a flowering stage in their life cycle. the flower serves the function of reproduction and fruit formation in majority of angiosperms. dicot is the term used to describe flowering plants that have two seed leaves. dicots are plants which develop seeds which split into two parts called cotyledons. each cotyledon contains one embryo.

here, a small purple flower development indicates that the plant belongs to angiosperms and having two embryonic leaves indicates it belongs to dicots.

Some technological solutions to problems like global warming meet the specific needs and situations of local communities. an example from india involves converting the solid waste from cattle into clean-burning fuel for cooking. this reduces the amount of greenhouse gases, specifically methane and carbon dioxide, released into the environment from wood fires. when evaluating the feasibility of implementing this solution, computer models are used to weigh costs against benefits. what factor is least likely to impact the decision on adopting this technology?
