Answer:

a. preventing the cross-linkage of NAM subunits

Explanation:

The bacterial cell wall is made of peptidoglycan which is a polymer of alternating  N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) residues. The NAM residues  are crosslinked to impart additional strength to the cell wall.

Most of the antibiotics that target the cell wall synthesis in bacteria inhibit the enzyme of transpeptidation which in turn cross-links the NAM residues of the polysaccharide chains of the bacterial cell wall. Examples of these antibiotics include penicillins and cephalosporins.

Hi, can someone help me with questions C and D?​
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

c) Polysaccharide granules

Explanation:

c) Polysaccharide granules are a storage mechanism of starch (starch is a polysaccharide).

Glucose is a product of photosynthesis, and is used to produce energy. Starch is basically lots of glucose molecules joined together, and is stored in polysaccharide granules until it is required to generate energy

d) A heterotrophic organsim is an organism that cannot synthesise its own food. This includes animals and some types of bacteria. All eukaryotes except from green plants are heterotrophic. That means they don't produce food, but get their food from other sources.

Conditions that would favour a plant switching to being heterotrophic are if there is no light energy. Plants require light energy to provide the energy for photosynthesis. Without light energy, there would nee to be other mechanisms of food production.
