Water-soluble vitamin excesses are swiftly eliminated in urine and infrequently build up to hazardous amounts.

What is water-soluble vitamins ?

The B vitamins — folate, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 — and vitamin C are the nine water-soluble vitamins. A clinical condition caused by a deficiency in one or more of these water-soluble vitamins can have serious morbidity and death effects.

The fat-soluble vitamins are used by your body as needed, and any extra is stored in your tissues and organs. The risk of vitamin poisoning increases when you take too much fat-soluble vitamins on a regular basis, making them more dangerous than water-soluble vitamins.

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.
