What are nodes, internodes, apical buds, & axillary buds?
xxMikexx [17]
Axillary buds are found at the insertion point of leaves and lateral branches in the nodes and give rise to lateral branches and flowers. Internodes are the stem regions between nodes. They lack lateral organs. It can be said that the stem is made up of nodes, internodes and axillary buds tidily arranged.

3. How does fluoroquinolone affect bacterial cells but not eukaryotic cells?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

In order to be useful in treating human infections, antibiotics must selectively target bacteria for eradication and not the cells of its human host. Indeed, modern antibiotics act either on processes that are unique to bacteria--such as the synthesis of cell walls or folic acid--or on bacterium-specific targets within processes that are common to both bacterium and human cells, including protein or DNA replication. Following are some examples.

Most bacteria produce a cell wall that is composed partly of a macromolecule called peptidoglycan, itself made up of amino sugars and short peptides. Human cells do not make or need peptidoglycan. Penicillin, one of the first antibiotics to be used widely, prevents the final cross-linking step, or transpeptidation, in assembly of this macromolecule. The result is a very fragile cell wall that bursts, killing the bacterium. No harm comes to the human host because penicillin does not inhibit any biochemical process that goes on within us.

hope this helps :) can i get brainliest?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

A sacromere is a segment between two adjacent Z discs and are essential for the striated structure of the cardiac and skeletal muscles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Z disc is surrounded by the I band made of thin filament called actin. The I band is followed by the A band made up of thick filament called myosin. When the muscles contract the actin and the myosin become superimposed/overlapped.

The sliding filament model explains the contraction of the sacromere in which the Z discs move closer due to the overlapping of the thin and thick filaments. Thus the I band moves close to the A band which remain the same length as shown in figure.
