why is tetracycline selectively toxic against bacteria Eukaryotic cells will enzymatically destroy the drug. Eukaryotic cells wi

ll actively pump the drug out of their interiors. The drug affects peptidoglycan synthesis, and eukaryotic cells have no peptidoglycan. The drug binds to the 30S small ribosomal subunit — eukaryotes have a 40S small subunit. Eukaryotes lack a small ribosomal subunit, so the drug cannot negatively affect them.

Answer:

The correct answer is The drug binds to the 30S small ribosomal  subunit eukaryotes have 40S small sub unit.

Explanation:

Tetracycline belongs to broad spectrum antibiotic.Tetracycline is named so because it contain a derivative of four hydrocarbon rings.

 Tetracycline act by inhibiting the protein synthesis process in prokatotes by binding to the small ribosomal subunit also called 30S subsunit and blocks the binding of amino acyl tRNA to the A site or attachment site of ribosome.

 As eukaryotes contain 40S ribosomal  subunit,it becomes difficult for tetracycline to bind with 40S ribosomal subunit of eukaryotes.

The surface of the villi in the small intestine is covered by a single layer of epithelial cells called enterocytes. Enterocytes
Paul [167]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

basically when the stem cell in the crypts divides they formed daughter cells. One of the   daughters from each of the original divided stem cells  usually divides to form another stem cell, while the rest forms transit amplifying cell.These amplifying cells are  capable of dividing multiple times until they are evenly differentiated(designated to specific function) e.g top globlet cells, enterocytes, tuft cells etc.

How are catastrophism and gradualism different
Elza [17]

Catastrophism is associated with major changes that occurs once at a time in a species while gradualism is associated with tiny changes that occurs over a period of time that finally contributes a bigger evolutionary change.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The events that are sudden, short-lived, violent occurring worldwide thereby changing the shape of the Earth is Catastrophic. This process is opposite to contrast to  gradualism which is also called as uniformitarianism. This process is associated with slow and also incremental changes. Erosion is the best example for this process.

The formation of major mountain chains and great floods are some of the examples of Catastrophism. Both are associated with the changes that occurs in a species by the time taken for the changes determines whether it is Catastrophism or gradualism.

Volcanologists are scientists who study volcanic eruptions. However, most volcanologists rarely get to witness a volcanic erupti
Basile [38]

Answer:Volcanic eruptions are very dangerous events.

Explanation:Models represent objects, events, and processes in the real world.

Models are often used when an object, event, or process

occurs too slowly or too quickly;

is too small or too large;

is too complicated or too dangerous.

Volcanic eruptions produce both molten lava and poisonous gases. Therefore, eruptions can be very dangerous. Many volcanologists have lost their lives while observing volcanic eruptions.
