Ampicillin is a member of the penicillin family of antibiotics. what would happen to ampr bacterial strains if they were streake

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.

What is a young, anucleate erythrocyte called?
VARVARA [1.3K]

The right answer is reticulocyte.

The reticulocyte is the cell preceding the erythrocyte stage in erythropoiesis. He is almost like her.

Reticulocytes are young red blood cells that still have ribosomes and mitochondria, but no peroxisomes. They are therefore capable of a fairly intense metabolism and they still actively synthesize hemoglobin.

6. A scientist measures the circumference of acorns in a population of oak trees
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

6. 2 cm

8. Greater than 2 cm and less than 2 cm

Explanation:

Complete Question

6. A scientist measures the circumference of acorns in a population of oak trees and discovers that the most common circumference is 2 cm. What would you expect the most common circumference(s) to be after 10 generations of stabilizing selection?

-2 cm

-Greater than 2 cm or less than 2 cm

-Greater than 2 cm and less than 2 cm

-Can't tell from the information given

8. Refer to question 6, but this time answer what you would expect after 10

generations of directional selection.

-2 cm

-Greater than 2 cm or less than 2 cm

-Greater than 2 cm and less than 2 cm

-Can't tell from the information given

Solution -

6. In an stabilizing selection, the average trait of a given population is favored over extreme values. Hence, it can be said that one specific trait is over presented in a given population. For example – uniform human birth weight, number of eggs a bird lay etc.  

Here in this case if most common circumference is 2 cm , then the tree population will try to have this trait as a stabilizing trait.  

Thus, option A is correct

8. In a  directional selection, the genetic variation decreases as per the environmental change. And hence the average trait will not be selected. Instead traits either higher or lower the average values will be preferred.  

Thus, option C is correct

Which of the following pairs reflects a relationship to addiction? a. medulla oblongata—craving b. cerebellum—reward c. hippocam
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The correct pair is -'d' that is nuclear accumbens-reward.

Explanation:

The location of nuclear accumbens is the basal region of fore brain.This is the part of basal ganglia.

This is an important part of ventral striatum along with dorsal striatum which from the basal ganglia.

The main structure of nuclear accumbens are core and shell.

The shell region is also called as NAcc shell is located in the outer region of the nuclear accumbens also called as dorsal amygdala.

The core region NAcc core is located in the inner region of the nuclear accumbens  and considered to be a part of basal ganglia.

This region control the reward and punishment centers that are present in the brain. This contain another function which is associated with psychotic problem such as depression, addiction and ablation etc.
