In this case, it is given that <em>Mycoplasma pneumoniae </em>lacks cell wall. some antibiotics such as penicillin works by interfering the synthesis of the cell walls. As these microbes do not have cell wall, the penicillin like antibiotics would not work.

In this case, the antibiotics, which interferes with the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) formation and replication can work. The ciproflaxin is an antibiotic, which work by inactivating the enzyme required for DNA replication in bacteria. Hence, the antibiotic ciproflaxin would be effective for treating the given condition.

yannick's class measured the width of one leaf serval times the values that the class recorded included 10 mm 8 mm 15 mm 5 mm 13
kati45 [8]

Yannick's class measured the width of one leaf serval times the values that the class recorded included 10 mm 8 mm 15 mm 5 mm 13 mm. The several different widths indicate that the class lacked the understanding of the word 'width' of the leaf and a standard procedure to make the measurements. Since leaf has two axis of making measurements, along the vein and across the vein. The measurements made along the vein would be greater than that of the across the leaf stem. Also the point of measurement of the width across the vein would vary as leaf tappers by the tip. Hence they should have been instructed to measure the width across the vein by folding the leaf into two halves, so as to make the readings more relevant.
