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.

using the food web, describe two complete food chains that include a ptoducer, consumer, and descomposer.​
Damm [24]

Answer:

A food chain is a representation of what eats what in an ecosystem.

A combination of food chains is termed as a food web.

Example of two food chains in a food web are :

Example No 1:

Plant----- Grasshopper------ Frog---snake--- bacteria

Example No 2:

Plant---- rabbits---- fox---- bacteria

In a food chain, producers are usually plants and algae which are able to make their own food. Consumers feed on the plants. In example no 1, grasshoppers are primary consumers, frogs are secondary consumers, snakes are tertiary consumers.

In example no 2,plants are producers, rabbits are primary consumers and foxed are secondary consumers.

Decomposers are organisms that feed on the dead organisms in a food chain. In both the examples of food chain, bacteria are the decomposers.
