Antibiotics kill certain bacteria but do not harm human cells. Explain.

Biology
1 answer:
Fantom [35]4 years ago
6 0
Antibiotics typically work as competitive enzyme inhibitors, they bind to enzymes and prevent them for being able to caring out certain metabolic processes. Antibiotics will effect only certain types of enzymes and typically humans may not produce these enzymes meaning it won’t have an effect on our cells but will kill bacteria. The thing is though we have “good” bacteria in our body that is also killed by antibiotics which in turn cause problems with digestion and other bodily processes. If you want an example of what an antibiotic does, it will prevent an enzyme in the bacteria from producing a membrane and it becomes easier for our bodies to attack the cell, white blood cells have an easier time killing the cell after the enzyme is inhibited. Also this is not to say that all antibiotics don’t affect human cells they may affect them slightly but typically bacteria is what’s killed

The preferential use of phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine in the cytoplasmic leaflet of membranes leads to incre
spayn [35]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: The preferential use of phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine in the cytoplasmic leaflet of membranes leads to increased:___ would be, D: All of the answers are correct.

Explanation:

There is still a lot of debate among scientists as to the exact way in which phospholipids are distributed between the two leaflets of a cell´s plasma membrane, but what they do know is that there are four kinds, and that phosphatidylinositol (a sterol) and phosphatidylethanolamine appear most commonly on the cytosolic, or cytoplasmic side of the membrane. They also believe that it is this particular arrangement which allows the cytoplasmic side of the membrane to be slightly negatively charged and this role will play a major part in a membrane´s ability to generate an action potential. Also, it is known that these negatively charged ends of the bilayer will allow certain proteins, positively charged ones, to be inserted, and connected to it, to become transporters, or mediators in action potentials and normal activities of cells. Finally, since fatty acids and cholesterol are associated with phospholipids, but have a tendency to be attracted to these particular two types, they tend to give the overall structure fluidity, but also permit  the inner leaflet to assume its particular circular shape around the cytoplasm. This is why the answer is D.
