positive correlation ;
more antibiotics used, more bacteria are resistant ;
variation between countries at each dosage ;
In countries with antibiotic use of <1%, less than 10% bacteria are resistant
In countries with antibiotic use of 3(+)%, more than 40% bacteria are resistant
variation e.g. some countries at 2.5%, with 4.5% and 32.5%
bacteria are resistant to some antibiotic ;
ref. to selection ; result of overuse ;
some are specific ;
some antibiotics used for rare disease(s) ;
some only used as last resort ;
have (many / unpleasant) side-effects / harmful / cause allergy ;
too expensive ;
cannot be used on children ;
Many antibiotics work by damaging the cell walls of bacteria. They do not help to destroy
viruses because viruses dont have cell walls.

i) x-axis labelled mass of nut / g
y-axis labelled energy / J
point plotted in square 2500 2600 + line through points ;
line must not extend beyond plotted points
straight line of best fit
ii) as mass increases, energy increases ;
energy content directly proportional to mass of nut
i) (3045 / 0.5 100 =) 609 000 / 6.09 105
ii) heat lost to air
some energy lost when setting nut on fire ;
official procedure involves burning in oxygen ;
heat transfer to, needle / boiling tube;

example of energy loss eg. body heat / movement of animal / not all food digested / energy
lost in faeces / urinating / excretion / respiration / egestion;
