Penicillins disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis.

<h3>How does penicillin affect bacterial cell walls?</h3>
  • Penicillin kills bacteria by inhibiting the proteins which cross-link peptidoglycans in the cell wall .
  • When a bacterium divides in the presence of penicillin, it cannot fill in the “holes” left in its cell wall.
  • β-Lactam antibiotics, including penicillins, cephalosporins, monobactams, and carbapenems, are distinguished by a lactam ring in their molecular structure and act by inhibiting the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls.
  • Penicillins work by bursting the cell wall of bacteria. Drugs in the penicillin class work by indirectly bursting bacterial cell walls.
  • They do this by acting directly on peptidoglycans, which play an essential structural role in bacterial cells.

Is the muzzle velocity a scalar or vector quantity? Please explain your decision.
Marianna [84]
Muzzle velocity is a vector quantity which means it has direction and magnitude. Generally speaking, any velocity is classified as a vector quantity, a value with direction and magnitude. Velocity is the rate of change of the location of the object moving and is specified by its direction and speed. Since muzzle velocity is a velocity then it would surely be a vector quantity. Muzzle velocity is the speed of a bullet as it is leaving a muzzle of a gun in a the direction where the gun is pointed. It would have a value ranging from about 120 m/s to 370 m/s in muskets to 1200 m/s for modern rifles.
