Answer:

<em>Quinonoles/Fluoroquinolones</em>

Explanation:

Antibiotics are sometimes referred to as <u>antibacterials</u>. <em>They are substances that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria</em>. There are different criteria for classifying antibacterials including origin, chemical structure, range and effects of activities, routes of administration and <em>mode of action</em>. based on the latter, the classes of antibacterial that exist include

  1. those that operates by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in bacteria. This include <em>penicillin, bacitracin, vancomycin</em> and several others. Once cell wall cannot be synthesized, the bacterial cells eventually die off because the protective function of the cell wall is absent.
  2. those that operate by inhibiting the process of protein synthesis in bacteria. Protein synthesis is essential for cell division and continuity of life and once this process is inhibited, bacterial cells will not be able to reproduce and eventually die at the end of their growth cycle. Examples include <em>aminoglycosides, streptomycin, tetracycline</em> and many others.
  3. those that operate by inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis. Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) synthesis is essential for cell division and continuity of life just like protein synthesis. Example of antibacterial that inhibit RNA synthesis include <em>Rifampicin</em> while the one that inhibits DNA synthesis include <em>quinolones </em>and their <em>fluoroquinolone</em> derivatives.

What do the the skin, lungs, and digestive system do when drugs enter the system?
sesenic [268]
Drugs undergo four stages within the body: absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.<span> Drugs can be absorbed through the skin.
</span><span>Or, some drugs can be inhaled as gases. Gases penetrate the lining of the esophagus and lungs very quickly, which allows the drug to enter the bloodstream. </span><span>
 </span>Once a drug has entered the bloodstream,the blood throughout the body carries the substance with it. 
The digestive system is involved in the process of metabolism of the drugs. and transform drugs into substances that can be expelled by the body. Enzymes within the liver break down the drugs.

____is the cells way of converting food molecules into a form useful to the cell.
enyata [817]

Answer:

Respiration

Explanation:

cross off Photosynthesis because that is specifically for plants. Diffusion is when molecules move from high concentration to low concentrations. Osmosis helps transport water across the cell.

By process of reduction you can figure it out, but here is what cellular respiration is in it's basics so you can remember in the future. Cellular Respiration is just the process that takes place in cells to convert Chemical Energy from nutrients and turn it into ATP, then releases waste.

Explain the significance of a member of the normal microbiota that harbours an R plasmid.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer and Explanation

The normal microbiota that harbouring an R plasmid will transmit its R plasmid to the normal microbiota because the normal microbiota does not have R plasmid after transmission of R plasmid its increases the resistance  capacity of normal microbiota. This is the significance of normal microbiota that harbours an R PLASMID.

Precipitation _____. drives the water cycle is the change from a solid to a gas happens more frequently than evaporation over la
ipn [44]

Answer: Precipitation occur more frequently than evaporation over land.

Explanation:

Precipitation refers to the water vapour that fall from the atmosphere in form of rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain or hail. It delivers water from the atmosphere to the Earth. Precipitation occur more on the land than evaporation, most water that teaches the surface of the Earth fall back on the land and fill the inland water, rivers , storages,e.t.c.

Evaporation occur frequently in the ocean because it is expose to the sun and most water that is evaporated from the ocean fall back to the ocean as precipitation.

Over time, a tadpole changes into a frog. Has it evolved?
Illusion [34]
No, because its genes are still the same. To evolvewould mean that the frog had one set of genes as a tadpole, then a different set as an adult. It just doesn't work that way. The genes are the same.
