What is the best explanation for why a bacteriostatic treatment might be chosen over a bacteriocidal treatment?

Answer:

Explanation:

Many of us are familiar with term “antibacterial” – the type of technologies that are widely used to treat fabrics, plastics and coatings to prevent bacteria.

They work by inhibiting the growth of and/or destroying unwanted microorganisms that are growing and replicating on surfaces or in fabrics.

These agents are well known for actively helping to keep surfaces cleaner, reducing odours and making product last longer; however, what is less commonly known is that products that help us control these microorganisms are divided into two general categories: bactericidal and bacteriostatic.

When you say each of the category titles out loud, they sound quite similar; however, there are specific defining features that help us to categorize different types of antimicrobials.

While we discuss what makes each category unique, it is important to keep in mind that at a certain level (or dosage) the “lines” may become blurred as to which of these categories the antibiotic truly belongs in.

For example, if the concentration of a bacteriostatic treatment is particularly high, it may perform in ways that are more reflective of the characteristics you would expect to see in a bactericidal, however, this does not mean the technology is inherently bactericidal.

What conditions cause cells to break down fat molecules?
Alexeev081 [22]
Well, think of it this way.

When you do not eat that much, your body fat lowers little by little, but considering that this is a question, I'd say starvation. Think of it as when you fast (Not eating all night say to go to a doctors appointment) your body stores the fatty acids to make ketone! The ketone will build a bloodstream that flows to the brain and other parts of the body!

To sum it up, starvation.

joja [24]

Answer:

Groups 4 to 7 are most likely to be undergoing the mitotic phase of the cell cycle.

Explanation:

Since the four proteins used p16,  p18,  p21, and  p27 are inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK), their absence indicates that the cell is undergoing mitosis - the cell cycle is regulated by CDKs. In the absence of these inhibitors, the cell cycle moves on forward. Because the bar for DNA replication is longer in the case for groups 4 to 7, it is indicative of the fact that these cells have gone through the mitotic phase.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
