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.

____ [38]

During Prophase chromosomes condense, and mitotic spindle form, chromosomes are copied, and the nuclear membrane disappears, spindle fibres pull the sister chromatids apart.

Explanation:

Prophase is divided into 2 sub-phases as early Prophase and late prophase.

Early Prophase:

In early prophase distinct thick chromosome like structures, Centrioles move to the opposite poles and, nuclear membrane disappears

By late prophase:

Astral rays and spindle fibres are formed. Spindle fibres attach to the chromosome. Contractions occur in the attachment and sister chromatids are pull apart towards the equator.

Metaphase will follow the prophase.

True or false? Many environmentalists believe that reducing human population growth could improve environmental issues.
Lilit [14]
True! Earth is beginning to become very overcrowded and combined with the amount of people of the planet and the carelessness that they all have for it, the earth is slowly beginning to show it's age. Of course, no one will act on this opinion,  because it is quite illegal to just kill people, but it is true!
