A change in temperature, precipitation, or wind of a region, lasting for an extended period of a decade or longer. Release co2 into atmosphere from burning fossil fuels. Microorganisms called methanogens, live in wetlands, oceans, and the guts of ruminants and termites.

Discovered 10 more immune systems that bacteria use to protect themselves. The antibiotic penicillin was first discovered by which scientist in 1928: howard flory, ernest chain, alexander fleming, louis pasteur. True or false vancomycin, an inhibitor of cell wall synthesis, is an important last line defense against methicillin resistant s. aureus (mrsa)
