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.

If all green plants in the world were distroyed which atmospheric gas will increase
Mila [183]

 Trees are a crucial part of the<span> carbon cycle</span>, a global process in which carbon dioxide constantly circulates through the atmosphere into organism and back again. Carbon is the second most valuable element to life, you know, after water. Anyway, trees take carbon from the atmosphere through <span>photosynthesis </span>in order to make energy. This carbon is then either transferred into oxygen and released into the air by <span>respiration </span>or is stored inside the trees until they decompose into the soil. Therefore, the absence of trees would result in significantly HIGHER amounts of carbon dioxide in the air and LOWER amounts of oxygen! The filthy air would also be full of airborne particles andpollutants like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide and its temperature may increase by up to 12 F.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Mycorrhizal network. Mycorrhizal networks (also known as common mycorrhizal networks or CMN) are underground hyphal networks created by mycorrhizal fungi that connect individual plants together and transfer water, carbon, nitrogen, and other nutrients and minerals.

Look at metaphase and anaphase. Suggest the purpose of the spindle fibers during mitosis.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The spindle fibre is necessary to separate the sister chromatids into opposite sides of the cell.

Please find detailed explanation below

Explanation:

Mitosis is the cell division that produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. Mitosis occurs in stages viz: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The replicated chromosome, aligns at the centre of the cell in the METAPHASE stage and separates into opposite poles in the ANAPHASE stage.

This alignment (at the equator) and separation into opposite pole is possible with the aid of a structure called SPINDLE FIBRES. Spindle is a structure formed from microtubules, which attach to the kinetochores (located in the centromere) of each replicated chromosome to separate them from one another. Hence, the purpose of the spindle fibre during mitotic division is to separate the GENETIC MATERIAL of a parent cell into two daughter cells.
