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.

Which adds evidence to the idea that the cell is the basic unit of life

Natalka [10]

Explanation:

Complete question:

A. Cells contain ribosomes and have a cell membrane.

B. It is impossible for a multicellular organism to survive.

C. Many organisms in the world are made of only one cell.

D. Small organisms are generated spontaneously.

Correct: C. Many organisms in the world are made of only one cell. 

Biology's unifying principle states that cells are the basic units of biological organisms. Cells sharing a similar origin, group together inmulticellular organismsto form tissues; these typically share physical features and are arranged in regular patterns. All living things, grow, respire, reproduce etc. these processes are carried out by cells, which are thus integral to their survival.

Further Explanation:

Before the discovery of cells by Robert Hooke in 1665 with a simple microscope, many scientists had long believed that life of rose spontaneously over extended periods of time. Circa 1668 Francesco Redi, challenged the idea of spontaneous generation of maggots from rotting meat by placing meat in various sealed open, partially sealed and sealed containers

. Sealed containers did not show the presence of maggots, and he theorized that these were likely from eggs laid on the meat by flies. This was the development of the theory of abiogenesis (cells arise from other living cells); this eventually proved the unifying principle we know today.

What are tsunamis and how are they formed?

Alika [10]

A long high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslide, or other disturbance. Undersea earthquakes, which typically occur at boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates, cause the water above to be moved up or down. Tsunami waves are formed as the displaced water, which acts under the influence of gravity, attempts to find a stable position again.
