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.

7. open

8. urea

9. Single-loop circulatory systems have one direction of blood flow. Typically in fish, oxygen is absorbed in the gills, flows in blood to the body organs, and back to the heart, which pumps it directly back to the gills. In double-loop circulatory systems, the heart has multiples of each chamber. Part of the heart pumps blood to the lungs, to get oxygen. This blood flows back to a different chamber where it then gets pumped to the body. Once its oxygen has been used up, it goes back to the heart to be pumped all over again to the lungs.

10. Freshwater animals have lower water and higher salt concentrations than the environment in their cells. This means water constantly tries to diffuse into the animals, which can bloat them. They have special cell processes that remove extra water.

Masja [62]
Fatty acids only
Acetyl coenzyme A is a biological molecule that is used in biochemical reactions. These biochemical reactions include the breakdown or hydrolysis of protein, carbohydrates and lipid molecules.
