Question

"You are given the job of developing a drug to give to animals that only targets bacteria. If the drug only targets structures that bacteria have, the animal should not experience any side effects. What structure is the best target?"

Answer 1

Answer:

The bacteria cell wall

Explanation:

Since the drug targets only the structures that bacteria have, the target structure should be cell wall because human or animal cells do not have cell walls but cell membrane whereas bacteria cells have cell walls. So targeting cell walls would make the drug effective on bacteria while not affecting the animal cell thus there will not be any side effect of the drug on the animal.
