Bacterial drug resistance is becoming a problem in hospitals worldwide. "Superbugs" like MRSA and C. difficile are very difficult to treat and are showing up more and more in the human population. Many scientists believe that overuse of antibacterial medications has led to the
speedy evolution of these drug-resistant bacteria.
These drug-resistant bacteria become more common in the population through a series of steps. Number the steps from first to last.
= Drug-resistant bacteria build a large population in the host.
= A single bacterium develops a resistance to the drug due to a random genetic mutation.
= The host transmits the drug-resistant bacteria to the outside world.
= An antibacterial drug is used to treat an infection which kills off many honresistant bacteria.

Actual ingredients of lab (the cookies i am actually making) 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 1/3 stick margarine 1 egg 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 cup flour 1 1/3 cup chocolate chip can you answer the questions below ? discussion 1. suppose you are given the following amounts of ingredients: 1 dozen eggs 24 tsp. of vanilla 1 lb. (82 tsp.) of salt 1 lb. (84 tsp.) of baking soda 3 cups of chocolate chips 5 lb. (11 cups) of sugar 2 lb. (4 cups) of brown sugar 1 lb. (4 sticks) of margarine a. for each ingredient, calculate how many cookies could be prepared if all of that ingredient were consumed. (for example, the recipe shows that using 1 egg- with the right amounts of the other ingredients- yields 24 cookies. how many cookies can you make if the recipe is increased proportionately for 12 eggs? ) b. to determine the limiting reactant for the new ingredients list, identify which ingredient will result in the fewest number of cookies. c. what is the maximum number of cookies that can be produced from the new amounts of ingredients?
