Biology

FromTheMoon [43]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

c. selective toxicity takes advantage of structural and/or metabolic differences between host and pathogen

Explanation:

Selective toxicity is the mechanism by which antibiotics work. They cause damage to the pathogen but do not harm the host. Hence, they are selectively toxic in their mechanism. They can target both the structural or the metabolic differences between host and pathogen. Many antibiotics target unique sites in the pathogen's structure or the sites which might be present in host cells too but are not essential for the survival of the host. An example of structural difference being targeted by antibiotics is the enzymes which synthesis the bacterial cell wall so that the cell wall is disrupted. A metabolic difference being targeted would be the mechanism by which bacteria replicates so that host cell replication process is not hindered.

Many organelles contribute to the proper functioning of eukaryotic cells. Identify and describe four organelles that contribute
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The four organelles that contribute to the synthesis, transport, packaging, and export of proteins to the extracellular environment are Nucleus, RIBOSOMES, rough endoplasmic recticulum and Golgi apparathus.

Explanation:

The nucleus is the organelle that produced RIBOSOMES.

RIBOSOMES are organelles responsible for protein synthesis production of proteins.

The protein produced by the RIBOSOMES are then gathered in the rough endoplasmic recticulum . It then export and transport the protein to Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus modifies and package the protein.

How does studying earths rocks and meteorites support the age of earth?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Thousands of meteorites, which are fragments of asteroids that fall to Earth, have been recovered. These primitive objects provide the best ages for the time of formation of the Solar System. There are more than 70 meteorites, of different types, whose ages have been measured using radiometric dating techniques.

Meteorites that fall to Earth represent some of the original, diverse materials that formed planets billions of years ago. By studying meteorites we can learn about early conditions and processes in the solar system's history.
