Answer& explanation:

The mechanism of action of chloramphenicol can be explained as follows:

Chloramphenicol binds to the 50S subunit of the ribosome, inhibiting the protein synthesis of the bacteria, thus having bacteriostatic action (inhibiting the growth of bacteria, preventing their proliferation).

In addition, chloramphenicol can be bactericidal (destroys bacteria) when in high concentrations, or when used against highly sensitive microorganisms, such as <em>Haemophilus influenzae</em> and <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em>. The mechanism of action for these bacteria, however, is not yet elucidated.

please match the following nutritional types with the statements that most accurately describe them, to test your understanding
svetlana [45]

Autotroph: a creature that obtains its carbon from inorganic carbon dioxide

Chemotroph: an organism that obtains energy from chemical substances-Heterotroph: an organism that must receive its carbon in an organic form

Phototroph: an organism that produces energy from sunlight

The term "primary nutritional groups" refers to a category of creatures that are separated into subcategories based on the sources of carbon and energy that they require for survival, growth, and reproduction. Carbon can come from organic or inorganic sources, and energy can be derived from either light or chemical molecules. ATP, carbs, or proteins are used to store the liberated energy as potential energy. The energy is eventually put to use for activities essential to life, like movement, growth, and reproduction.

bulgar [2K]
The moon has different phases because it’s around different times. For example, let’s say you go outside and look at the moon at 11pm, then you go and look at it again at 12 pm, it’s going to have a different phase because it’s not at the say time.

I hope this helps! This is what I was getting from the question
