kobusy [5.1K]4 years ago

Bacteria in a unicellular organism that has an archaic structure but is very smart, specifically in antibiotic resistance.
Bacteria have several characteristic or "weapons" to fight antibiotics:
Bacteria has a cell wall which do not allow toxic substances to go in.
Bacteria has transporters which expulse the antibiotic molecules that enter into the cell.
Bacteria has enzymes that break the antibiotic molecules and make them inactive
Bacteria can mutate (change) itself so, and by the way the antibiotic sites, so the molecules cannot fix it. And that is the most problematic.
Bacteria can transmit it resistance mechanism to other bacteria, even if they are not from the same family.

How can the shape of a molecule determine its polarity apex?
sukhopar [10]

The shape of the molecule will determine the direction of each of the individual bond dipoles, and thus, will always play a role in determining the polarity of the molecule as a whole.

Think of each polar bond in a molecule as a little arrow pointing from positive to negative. This tells us that the bond dipole is a vector quantity.

Like any other vector quantity, the direction is a vital aspect of its description. So, the geometry of the molecule determines the direction that the bond dipole vectors point.

The polarity of the molecule results from adding up all these individual bond dipoles.
