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 is more important than light intensity in photosynthesis? decreased levels of carbon dioxide increased leaf surface area de
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The correct option is DECREASED LEVELS OF CARBON DIOXIDE.

Explanation:

The major factors affecting photosynthesis rate are light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature. Increase or decrease in any of these three factors will directly affect the rate at which photosynthesis takes place. Increase concentration of carbon dioxide will generally increase photosynthesis while a decrease in its concentration will reduce the rate at which photosynthesis takes place.
