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.

stepan [7]

Answer:

The number of genes partially explains how an organism has evolved and how it gained complexity.

Explanation:

The number of genes of a bacteria versus an eucaryotic organism is quite distinct and so is their complexity. A prokaryotic organism like a bacteria has a set of genes necessary to exert their basic functions and the number of genes compared to a eucaryotic cell is 3-30 times smaller, which defines a direct correlation of number of genes and complexity. However if we consider only eucaryote organisms and their complexity there is no such direct correlation between number of genes and their complexity when, for example, we compare the number of genes of humans (approximately 18000) and the number of genes of the <em>Trichomonas vaginalis, </em>an anaerobic, flagellated protozoan parasite and the causative agent of trichomoniasis. The number of genes of <em>T. vaginalis</em> is far bigger than the human cell, however the human complexity is far more advanced than the parasite organism.

Calcule la molalidad de una<br> 20g Ca Cl₂ en 250g de<br> que contiene<br> solucion<br> H₂O.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The solution is 0, 90 molal. See the explanation below, please

Explanation:

Molality is defined as moles of solute in 1 kg of solvent (1000 grams). The following three simple rule must be performed:

We calculate the weight of 1 mol of CaCl2

Weight Ca =40, 078 g

Weight Cl= 35, 453 g

Weight of 1 mol of CaCl2=40, 078g + 2x (35, 453g )= 110, 98g

110, 98 g ---1 mol

25 g---X= (25g x1 mol)/110, 98g= 0,23mol

250g solvent -----0,23 mol CaCl2 (the solute)

1000g solvent ----X = (1000g x0,23mol)/250g =0,90 mol solute

The solution is 0,90 molal

Which is the role of restriction enzyme.
Murljashka [212]
<span>The role of a restriction enzyme is essentially used to cut a single gene from a larger piece of DNA. It has a very important role to play in experiments investigating cloning, and in the construction of particular DNA molecules.</span>
