The microbes that usually live on or in a person are collectively referred to as human microbiota.

Microbes are the very small organisms that cannot be seen through unaided eyes. These include bacteria, viruses, fungi, archaebacteria, etc. They can be visualized under a microscope. They can be found in several habitats like water, sand, air or even inside some other living organism.

Human microbiota specifically includes all those microorganisms present above or inside the humans. Inside the humans, majority of the microbes are found in the digestive system. They are known to help in the process of digestion. Outside the humans, maximum microorganisms are found upon the skin.

Bacteria in our gut help to protect us by crowding out some of their dangerous relatives that can cause disease. Other good bacteria have been used in medicine to create antibiotics, and others still are used in food production to make fermented foods (think sauerkraut, yogurt, kimchi and kombucha.)

List 4 targets of antibiotics.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: Antibiotics targets the synthesis of protein, nucleic acid, folate and cell wall.

1. Synthesis of protein; antibiotics binds to either 30s or 50s ribosomal subunits blocking the polypeptide from the exiting the tunnel thus inhibiting a full completion of protein expression or production.

2. Nucleic acid synthesis; Antibiotics also act by inhibiting genetic expression, DNA transcription and replication where DNA makes exact copies of itself, as well as RNA molecules preventing bacterial growth.

3. Cell wall synthesis; Inhibition of cell wall synthesis in microorganisms will prevent it from replication and growth.

4. Folate synthesis; Folic acid also known as vitamin B9 helps in DNA replication and cell division. Folate antagonists such as aminopterin kills bacteria by preventing folic acid production required for DNA replication.

What does the term electron orbital describe?An electron orbital describes the orbit of an electron around the nucleus.An electr
AlekseyPX

The correct answer is B. An electron orbital describes a three-dimensional space where an electron can be found 90% of the time.

Explanation:

Electrons are negatively charged particles found in atoms. These different from protons and neutrons are not located in the nucleus of the atom but orbit it. Additionally, electrons do not orbit the nucleus following a linear pattern but they have a wave-like behavior which means they move in a three-dimensional space or area known as electron orbital in which they can be found most of the time, this space of area is determined depending on energy, momentum, and other factors. Thus, an electron orbital is "a three-dimensional space where an electron can be found 90% of the time".
