Answer:

Antibiotics are specially produced to attack the bacterial cells but not the healthy cells of the human body. The modern antibiotics target the bacteria causing infection in the body.These antibiotics are specific to bacteria as the proteins produced by the bacterial cell is different from the proteins produced by the human cell.

Most of the bacterial cell produces the cell wall that is made up of the macro molecule known as peptidoglycan. Human cells does not synthesis peptidoglycan.

In this way the antibiotics target specific kind of protein synthesized by bacterial cell only.

Please help me with this question :)

Answer:

option C

option C

Explanation:

we know that gravity is strongest when two large objects are near each other--so, when the asteroid reaches point C (which is shown to be closest to the sun), the pull of gravity will be greatest.

We also know that the attraction/pull of gravity slows down objects, so, the asteroid will be going slowest at its point of strongest gravity--which we have determined to be point C

hope this helps! let me know if you need more explanation, have a lovely day :)

Explain in detail about Phospholipid Bilayer.
erica [24]

A phospholipid bilayer or lipid bilayer is a double layer of lipids in a cell membrane which has a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic part.

Hydrophobic - expelled by water

Hydrophilic - attracted to water

The layers form the cell membrane which means that it's functions are the same as the functions of a cell membrane, and are critic to the cells functioning.
