The extracellular matrix (ECM) of bone is considered to be a composite material made up of organic and inorganic matter. What ma

Answer:

Inorganic portion of matrix:

The inorganic component of extracellular matrix consists of inorganic salts namely calcium and potassium. This salts are present in the crystal of hydroxyapatite. This component provide rigidity and makes the bone as the strongest component of the body.

Organic portion of matrix:

The organic portion of the bone is known as osteoids. They consists of glycosaminolycans, glycoproteins and proteoglycans. The collagen fibers of bones resist torsion of the bones.

The cellular mechanism of the breakdown of the matrix is known as osteoregenreation. The bone cell involved in this process is known as osteoclast that are involved in the process of bone resorption. The bone organic and inorganic component are broken down and reconstruct the extracellular bone matrix.

A specific type of gram-negative bacteria contains endotoxin in the bacterial cell envelope. What is the likely clinical manifes
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Fever.

Explanation:

If gram-negative bacteria contain a small amount of Endotoxin in the circulatory system can cause different types of infections such as inflammation, bleeding, hypertension, clotting, and fever.

Endotoxin is known as glycolipids, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) the most potent toxic molecule which is capable of causing lethal shock. It is present in the bacterial cell wall.

List 4 targets of antibiotics.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: Antibiotics targets the synthesis of protein, nucleic acid, folate and cell wall.

1. Synthesis of protein; antibiotics binds to either 30s or 50s ribosomal subunits blocking the polypeptide from the exiting the tunnel thus inhibiting a full completion of protein expression or production.

2. Nucleic acid synthesis; Antibiotics also act by inhibiting genetic expression, DNA transcription and replication where DNA makes exact copies of itself, as well as RNA molecules preventing bacterial growth.

3. Cell wall synthesis; Inhibition of cell wall synthesis in microorganisms will prevent it from replication and growth.

4. Folate synthesis; Folic acid also known as vitamin B9 helps in DNA replication and cell division. Folate antagonists such as aminopterin kills bacteria by preventing folic acid production required for DNA replication.
