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.

zvonat [6]
The answer for the above question is the Avascular Necrosis. It occurs as an interruption in the blood flow within the bone resulting in the death of the hematopoietic cells, osteocytes, and marrow fat cells making up the bony structure. It is also called osteonecrosis or ischemic bone necrosis, which occurs when there is loss of blood to the bone, since the bone is a living tissue that needs blood, this interruption of blood supply will result to the death of the bone.
