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.

laila [671]

Answer:

The first sign of trauma to the testicle or scrotum is most often severe pain. Pain around the testicle may also be due to infection or swelling of the epididymis ("epididymitis"). Because the epididymis has a very thin wall, it easily becomes red and swollen by infection or injury.

jekas [21]
C. <span>more producers than consumers 

</span><span>Because for example one large eagle needs lots of small sparrows to eat. There is usually a food pyramid so for example you could display it along the lines of 1,000 worms are eaten by 20 sparrows which are eaten by 1 eagle. Its just the way things are. It is a fine balance. if you went up to two eagles on same land they would run out of food quickly and then would either starve or have to move on and using up all the food doesnt help them so it needs to be in a fine balance. A balanced ecosystem.</span>
