Some isotopes are radioactive, which makes them suitable for medical imaging procedures. Radioactive isotopes have found a wide range of use in medicine. For example, they are used as tracers for diagnostic as well as research on metabolic processes. They are also used in medical imaging procedures, these isotopes include fluorine-18, gallium-67 among many others.
Answer:
In order to be useful in treating human infections, antibiotics must selectively target bacteria for eradication and not the cells of its human host. Indeed, modern antibiotics act either on processes that are unique to bacteria--such as the synthesis of cell walls or folic acid--or on bacterium-specific targets within processes that are common to both bacterium and human cells, including protein or DNA replication. Following are some examples.
Most bacteria produce a cell wall that is composed partly of a macromolecule called peptidoglycan, itself made up of amino sugars and short peptides. Human cells do not make or need peptidoglycan. Penicillin, one of the first antibiotics to be used widely, prevents the final cross-linking step, or transpeptidation, in assembly of this macromolecule. The result is a very fragile cell wall that bursts, killing the bacterium. No harm comes to the human host because penicillin does not inhibit any biochemical process that goes on within us.
hope this helps :) can i get brainliest?
Explanation:
Answer: Option E
Maintaining very long telomeres promotes cancer cell formation.
Explanation:
Telomere refers to either of the sequences of DNA at each end of a eukaryotic chromosome.
Usually, in eukaryote chromosome replication, telomeres are not replicated.
Hence, they are usually lost resulting in the shortening of the telomere ends after repeated cycle of cell division. This also leads to cell aging and stoppage of cell division.
The shortening of telomere combined with stoppage of cell division, and cell aging initiation prevent CANCER, which thrives on lengthy telomeres
E. coli cells are found in the kingdom and domain of bacteria. They are unicellular, microorganisms that are single celled and shaped like rods
