- Antibiotics enter the environment in wastewater from pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, in wastes from farms where they are used in animals, and in sewage from human populations. (Many antibiotics are excreted in their active form.) The influx of antibiotics into the environment is a concern because the presence of these compounds in the environment selects for antibiotic resistance. As pollutants, antibiotics can also have ecological effects. Describe some of the ecological roles of bacteria, and explain why disruption of these roles by antibiotic pollution would have a negative impact.arrow_forwardConsider the following graph depicting the population growth of bacteria in an “ideal” laboratory created condition.

- I think my reasoning is wrong because I keep getting Italy as the answer choice. It seems odd to me that I got Italy three times. The other option is Burkina Faso. So, it is either Italy or Burkina Faso. Please carefully review my answer choices because I could be WRONG. Richness refers to the total number of species of microbe in the gut microbe. Italy, Europe seems to have greater gut microbe richness. Diversity- It is the variety of species Italy has a greater variety of species. Evenness refers to the distribution of abundance across the species in the community. Italy seems to have greater evenness as the species percentage is almost similar.arrow_forwardIn relation to allometric scaling which of the statement(s) is correct?
