Answer:
In order to be useful in treating human infections, antibiotics must selectively target bacteria for eradication and not the cells of its human host. Indeed, modern antibiotics act either on processes that are unique to bacteria--such as the synthesis of cell walls or folic acid--or on bacterium-specific targets within processes that are common to both bacterium and human cells, including protein or DNA replication. Following are some examples.
Most bacteria produce a cell wall that is composed partly of a macromolecule called peptidoglycan, itself made up of amino sugars and short peptides. Human cells do not make or need peptidoglycan. Penicillin, one of the first antibiotics to be used widely, prevents the final cross-linking step, or transpeptidation, in assembly of this macromolecule. The result is a very fragile cell wall that bursts, killing the bacterium. No harm comes to the human host because penicillin does not inhibit any biochemical process that goes on within us.
hope this helps :) can i get brainliest?
Explanation:
Answer:
A
Explanation: Ex: heavy fur coat great in Alaska, bad in Florida
Not B: organizms can learn behaviors but adaptation is biological.
Not C. Answer is not for basic biology.
Not D: Competition varies under factors such as environment.
Endocytosis and exocytosis are similar in that they are both forms of cell transport. They differ because in endocytosis, a cell transports molecules into a cell (think: endo - in), and in exocytosis, the cell's molecules are transported by being expelled.
This is asexual reproduction and it shows offspring that have the same genes as the parent, since the genetic material was copied before the division.
Skeletal system.
Without a proper skeleton, we would not have enough rigidity to properly move. We'd be an awkward pile of skin, muscle & bodily fluids.
Hope that helps!
