Answer: The correct option is D (Antimicrobials).
Explanation:
Antimicrobial treatment is defined as therapies that are given to patients to either inhibit or kill the growth of microorganisms IN their body cells. The antimicrobial treatment can be grouped into two based on their mechanism of action. These includes:
--> Microbiocidal therapy: This type of treatment when given, kills the microorganisms in the cells of the patient.
--> Microbiostatic therapy: This type of treatment aims at inhibiting the growth of microorganisms when administered to a patient.
The antimicrobial drugs achieve their role usually through their different modes of action which includes:
--> cell wall inhibition
--> inhibition of cell membrane function
--> protein and nucleic acid synthesis inhibition.
Disinfects, antiseptic and sterilisation are all different ways of eliminating microorganisms but not used as invitro (within) treatment for patients. Therefore the term that best matches the description given is antimicrobials.
Answer:
B. Enzymes generally catalyze only very specific biochemical reactions.
E. Most enzymes are proteins composed of amino acids
F. The cells of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes all contain enzymes.
G. If the active site of an enzyme is altered, the enzyme is unable to catalyze the biochemical reaction.
Explanation:
Enzymes refers to substances that acts as a catalyst in living organisms. They regulate the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without being altered in the process. Enzymes regulate the biological process that occur within living organisms.
Enzymes catalyze all aspects of cell metabolism such as digestion of food, conservation and transformation of chemical energy and the construction of cellular macromolecules from smaller precursors.
Application of enzymes
1. Industrial application
2. Medical application
1. Enzymes can be used for industrial application such as beer brewing, wine fermentation, bread leavening.
2. Enzyme can also be applied in the medical aspects for killing disease-causing microorganisms, promoting wound healing, and diagnosing some diseases.
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
A. Phloem
B. Xylem
C. Apical meristem
D. Root cap
Answer:
The correct answer will be option- Root cap
Explanation:
The plant growth takes place not only above the surface but below the surface also in the roots. Roots continually grow to absorb more water and nutrients to support the growth of the plant.
The roots are protected by a layer of protective cells forming a structure called root cap below the root. The root cap protects the roots, secretes a substance which helps the growth of the root and the sense gravity.
In the given question since the roots are not able to grow therefore the damaged part will be the root cap.
Thus, the root cap is the correct answer.
