Dr. Paul Ehrlich observed that the differential stain developed by Dr. Gram suggested bacteria could be killed differentially by

chemicals (Chapter 1). He called these potential antibacterial agents "magic bullets".Which among the following cell features of bacteria are potential targets for Dr. Ehrlich's "magic bullets" due to significant difference or absence from humans?Choose all that apply.DNAGlycocalyxCytoplasmic membraneRibosomeCytoskeletonCell wall

Answer:

The correct answer is Glycocalyx, ribosome and cell wall.

Explanation:

Glycocalyx is mainly found in bacteria that makes a protective covering outside the cell wall in the form of capsule of bacteria and provide protection to bacteria from host immune cell.  

Bacterial ribosomes are different from human ribosomes. Bacteria contain 70s ribosome while humans contain 80s ribosome so ribosomes are potential targets for many drugs present today.

Bacterial cell contain cell wall which is made up of peptidoglycan or lipopolysaccharide but human cell does not contain a cell wall, therefore, many drugs are designed to destroy cell wall of bacteria like penicillin.

So glycocalyx, ribosomes, and cell wall can be potential targets for Dr. Ehrlich's "magic bullets" due to significant difference or absence from humans.

<span>simple and complex

"complete and incomplete" are terms used for proteins in nutrition. "macro and micro" are terms used for nutrients in nutrition. And " saturated and unsaturated are terms used for fats also in nutrition.

Cómo se denomina al tipo de acción metabólica que genera la glucólisis y respiración celular?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

catabolismo.

Explicación:

El tipo de acción metabólica que genera la glucólisis y la respiración celular se llama catabolismo porque en ambos procesos se descomponen las moléculas lo cual es una acción catabólica. El catabolismo es una forma de metabolismo que descompone moléculas más grandes en unidades más pequeñas que son utilizadas por la célula para liberar energía o utilizadas en otras reacciones anabólicas significa la síntesis de moléculas complejas en organismos a partir de otras más simples.
