Question

1. Draw an outline of a bacterial cell, including the cellular contents, and label all the areas,

Answer 1

Answer:

Bacterial cells are prokaryotes, i.e. simple cells that lack nuclei and organelles, which consist of several parts, each of which is subject to the action of antibiotics.

Explanation:

Bacteria are microorganisms consisting of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, free genetic material, ribosomes and plasmids, some of which are subject to the bactericidal action of antibiotics.

An antibiotic is a synthetic chemical capable of affecting cellular components of microorgans, such as bacteria. By their mechanism of action they can act on:

1. Interruption or inhibition of the synthesis of structural components of the cell wall. When this occurs, the permeability of the wall increases, allowing the entry of antibiotics or the loss of bacterial components.
2. Inhibition of cell membrane synthesis or destruction of its structure.
3. Inhibition of nucleic acid synthesis, such as DNA and RNA, altering its composition or blocking the action of enzymes that allow such synthesis.
4. Blocking or inhibition of ribosomal protein synthesis.

The scheme shows the main parts of a bacterial cell and the sites where antibiotics can act (image).
