Antibiotics are designed to target only the cells that are harmful to the human body
Fynjy0 [20]3 years ago
4 0

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.

What is the advantage of having a folded inner membrane in the mitochondria
Aliun [14]

Okay so, the mitochondria are shaped perfectly to maximize their productivity. They are made of two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it like a skin. The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae. The fluid contained in the mitochondria is called the matrix. The folding of the inner membrane increases the surface area inside the organelle. Since many of the chemical reactions happen on the inner membrane, the increased surface area creates more space for reactions to occur.

Hope that helps (:

One type of active transport is called cotransport. In cotransport, the energy available from an ion moving through a transport
kompoz [17]

Answer:

b- It is a spontaneous process.

Explanation:

Passive transport is the type of transport of substances across the plasma membrane that occurs without energy expenditure and occurs spontaneously. There is no energy expenditure during passive transport because substances naturally move from the more concentrated to the less concentrated medium, ie in favor of the concentration gradient.

Substance transport occurs until concentrations inside and outside the cell are equalized.

According to this conceptualization we can conclude that the correct answer to your question is the letter B.
