Question

There are good bacteria that live in our gut. They benefit from us because they feed on what we eat, and we benefit from them because they keep harmful bacteria away. In one or two sentences, define this relationship and describe what could happen if we took too many bacteria-killing antibiotics without the advice of a physician

The bacteria that live in our gut take up most of the space so there is less room for harmful bacteria to grow. The possibilities of taking too many bacteria-killing antibiotics without the advice the physician could result in killing the good bacteria and allowing the harmful bacteria to grow, damaging our health.

Your paragraph is well-structured, but there are a few minor adjustments needed for clarity and grammar. Here’s your original paragraph with corrections made:

Original Paragraph: The bacteria that live in our gut take up most of the space so there is less room for harmful bacteria to grow. The possibilities of taking too many bacteria-killing antibiotics without the advice the physician could result in killing the good bacteria and allowing the harmful bacteria to grow, damaging our health.

Revised Paragraph: The bacteria that live in our gut take up most of the space, so there is less room for harmful bacteria to grow. The possibility of taking too many bacteria-killing antibiotics without the advice of a physician could result in killing the good bacteria and allowing harmful bacteria to grow, damaging our health.

List of Changes:

  1. Added a comma after "space" in the first sentence for better clarity.
  2. Changed "possibilities" to "possibility" in the second sentence for grammatical correctness (it should be singular).
  3. Added "of" before "a physician" in the second sentence for grammatical accuracy.
  4. Removed "the" before "harmful bacteria" in the second sentence for fluidity.

Overall, the adjustments improve readability and ensure grammatical correctness.
