Selective toxicity is a trait which is present in almost all anti-infective agents. This trait allows anti-infective agents to affect and target particular enzymes and proteins in antigens.

Selective toxicity is a trait which is responsible for effecting certain proteins, enzymes or structures in infectious agents like bacteria, fungi and viruses. Without this trait the anti-infectious agents or drugs would have a toxic affect that would be exerted on not only antigens but also on normal, unharmed cells in the body of the host organism. Selective toxicity is displayed by most antibiotics, where these drugs affect the bacterial cell wall and its components. This is also displayed by antiviral drugs. these antiviral drugs affect the spike proteins or capsid proteins on the virus. Antivirals can also be selectively toxic towards receptors that are the point of attachment towards viruses.

Which organisms have the least amount of stored energy in an ecological pyramid
Alenkinab [10]
<h2>Answer</h2>

Tertiary Consumers get least amount of the energy.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

In an ecological pyramid less energy is available to organisms in the upper level because each organism releases some of the chemical energy as food and to the air as thermal energy .Therefore primary consumers get almost 10% of autotrophs prduced energy. The second consumers in the pyramid get 1% from primary consumer. In the case of tertiary consumers, they get only 0.1%. Hence the top consumer of a food pyramid receives the least energy.
