Answer: food storage

Explanation:

The stomach is one of the important parts of the digestive system. It has three main functions to be performed in the animal or human body. It acts as a temporary storage organ for food which passed from the esophagus to the stomach, facilitates the breakdown and mixing of food components with the digestive juices by contraction and relaxation of the stomach muscles and finally aids in digestion of food.

Based on above description, the mechanical and chemical digestion of food by the stomach the other function includes the food storage.

Answer: Food storage

Explanation:

Stomach is a small pouch like structure which has the ability to store food temporarily.The storage of the food temporarily takes place in the stomach. The food that we eat reaches to the stomach by the help of food pipe.

Here, the food is stored until it is completely broken down into simpler form and enzymes act on them.

The food is then absorbed in the small intestine. But before this food is temporarily stored in the stomach where all the digestive juices and enzymes come to act on the food.

Ampicillin is a member of the penicillin family of antibiotics. what would happen to ampr bacterial strains if they were streake
artcher [175]

The amoxicillin and the ampicillin are known to degrade the cell wall. both of these antibiotics have β- lactam in their structure. The structure of the ampicillin and the amoxicillin is similar having a single difference at the 4th position of benzene ring. The structure of the amoxicillin have an addition OH or hydroxyl group at the 4th position in the benzene ring.

As the structure of ampicillin and amoxicillin is similar, the bacteria having ampicillin resistance can also show amoxicillin resistance.

MODE OF ACTION OF AMOXICILLIN:

The amoxicillin binds with the pencillin binding proteins, present in the bacterial cell wall. The binding of the amoxicillin inhibits the enzyme transpepetidase, which is an important enzyme for the synthesis of the cell wall. it also inhibit murine hydrolases and inhibit the assembling of cell wall.

The amoxicillin effects the cell walls of the bacteria, as the animals cells do not have cell wall, they only have a cell membrane, the increase in the dose would not effect the animal cell.
