Question

If you wanted to design a drug to prevent prokaryotic cells from attaching to substrates, which structure should the drug attack?

Answer 1

Prokaryotic cell are unicellular organisms. They usually attached to substrate through their appendages. Their appendages are found on their cell wall. To prevent this organism from attaching to their substrate the drugs should primarily attack the cell wall of the prokaryote. This will prevent them form attaching and allowing harmful compounds in entering the cell.
