Bad White [126]

The bacteria, Angelinus ballerinea secretes a compound that inhibits the growth of other Gram-positive bacteria. Scientists take this compound and add chemical groups to it to make it more stable for use in humans to treat bacterial infections. This is an example of antibiotic.

<h3>What is antibiotic?</h3>
  • Antibiotics from the key class of glycopeptides can stop this process.
  • Through five H-bonds, these antibiotics bind to the C-terminal d-Ala-d-Ala of the murein precursor, lipid II, and immature peptidoglycan, preventing transglycosylation and/or transpeptidation during the production of the cell wall.
  • Contrarily, antibiotics have easier access to the thick, porous peptidoglycan layer in the cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria, allowing them to more easily enter the cell and/or interact with the peptidoglycan itself.
  • The two main antibiotics that prevent the synthesis of bacterial cell walls are penicillins and cephalosporins.
  • Penicillin is one of many antibiotics that assault the bacterial cell wall in order to operate.
  • The medications specifically stop the bacteria from producing peptidoglycan, a chemical that gives the cell wall the toughness it needs to live in the human body.

Question 7
azamat

Answer:

A string is placed under a solution and a crystal grows on the string because the solution is supersaturated.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option B.

Explanation:

A saturated solution is defined as a solution in which there is no more space for the solute to be added. All the words in the solution is been filled with the solute which is been added before and mixed well to fill up all the pores. Supersaturated solution is defined as a solution which has a greater number of solute than it was being capable of holding.

As it is clear from the name supersaturated which means more than saturation. And when string is placed under this solution there are some crystal which grows on the strings because of the solute saturation which is being attached to the string.
