Why are most cells small?
(Science)
Biology
1 answer:
Margarita [4]3 years ago

If the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function. That is why cells are so small.

simpler answer: Cells are small because they need to keep a surface area to volume ratio that allows for appropriate intake of nutrients while being able to eliminate the cells waste.

Peptidoglycan in the bacterial cell envelope is an ideal target for antibiotics because ______.
bulgar [2K]

Peptidoglycan in the bacterial cell envelope is an ideal target for antibiotics because Antibiotics limit bacterial growth and replication by interfering with the bacterial cell wall.

  • Penicillin is one of many antibiotics that assault the bacterial cell wall in order to operate.
  • The medications specifically stop the bacteria from producing peptidoglycan, a chemical that gives the cell wall the toughness it needs to live in the human body.
  • Simply put, a lot of antibiotics, like vancomycin, which like -lactam antibiotics targets the peptidoglycan in the cell wall, are ineffective against,
  • Gram-negative bacteria because they lack the molecular characteristics necessary to employ these pathways to efficiently breach the outer membrane.
