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 a european starlings ecological role
makkiz [27]
European Starlings have a significant impact on their environment because they congregate in such large numbers.  They probably play a role in seed dispersal because of their consumption of a wide variety of fruits.  European Starlings also control some insect populations, but since they will eat almost anything they cannot be relied upon to eat only pests.  Insects they are known to feed on include the larvae of craneflies (Tipulidae) and moths (Lepidoptera) as well as mayflies (Ephemeroptera), dragonflies and damsel flies (Odonata), grasshoppers (Orthoptera), earwigs (Dermaptera), lacewings (Neuroptera), caddis flies (Trichoptera), flies (Diptera), sawflies, ants, bees and wasps (Hymenoptera) and beetles (Coleoptera).  They will also eat small vertebrates such as lizards and frogs, as well as snails (Gastropoda) and earthworms (Annelida).  European Starlings have a particular technique of inserting their closed bill into the ground or an object and then prying the bill open, creating a small hole.  This allows them to forage efficiently in soil and among roots as well as in feed troughs and on the backs of ungulates where they search for ectoparisites.

Why is it dangerous to have too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

too much CO2 is toxic for humans to inhale. we rely on plants to absorb CO2 and produce O2. If they was a sudden extinction of all plants on earth, this would lead to a rise of CO2 which would reduce O2 air quality. (not good at all)
