Effacement: The cervix – which is normally long and thick, measuring about 1-2 inches, starts to get shorter and thinner. This process is known as effacement. As the cervix gets more and more effaced, it gets shorter and shorter and “pulled up” into the lower part of the uterus.
Dilation: At the same time, the cervix softens and begins to open up – known as dilation. This widening, allows a smooth passage for the baby’s head and the rest of the body from the uterus into the vaginal canal.
The process for connecting two monomers together is called dehydration synthesis. Dehydration means
“removal of water” and synthesis means “to join together”. So in this
process, two monomers are covalently bonded by the removal of a
water molecule. Each organic monomer has a hydroxyl group on
one side and a hydrogen on the other. When two monomers line
up side by side, they will have these two functional groups facing one
another. The H and the OH will break off of their respective
monomers and bond forming a water molecule. This is the dehydration
part of the process. Each monomer now has a carbon atom that needs
to covalently bond with something, so they bind to each other forming
a polymer. That is the synthesis part of the process.
Answer:
Explanation:
Water's extensive capability to dissolve a variety of molecules has earned it the designation of “universal solvent,” and it is this ability that makes water such an invaluable life-sustaining force. On a biological level, water's role as a solvent helps cells transport and use substances like oxygen or nutrients
The amoxicillin and the ampicillin are known to degrade the cell wall. both of these antibiotics have β- lactam in their structure. The structure of the ampicillin and the amoxicillin is similar having a single difference at the 4th position of benzene ring. The structure of the amoxicillin have an addition OH or hydroxyl group at the 4th position in the benzene ring.
As the structure of ampicillin and amoxicillin is similar, the bacteria having ampicillin resistance can also show amoxicillin resistance.
MODE OF ACTION OF AMOXICILLIN:
The amoxicillin binds with the pencillin binding proteins, present in the bacterial cell wall. The binding of the amoxicillin inhibits the enzyme transpepetidase, which is an important enzyme for the synthesis of the cell wall. it also inhibit murine hydrolases and inhibit the assembling of cell wall.
The amoxicillin effects the cell walls of the bacteria, as the animals cells do not have cell wall, they only have a cell membrane, the increase in the dose would not effect the animal cell.
