The amoxicillin and the ampicillin are known to degrade the cell wall. both of these antibiotics have β- lactam in their structure. The structure of the ampicillin and the amoxicillin is similar having a single difference at the 4th position of benzene ring. The structure of the amoxicillin have an addition OH or hydroxyl group at the 4th position in the benzene ring.
As the structure of ampicillin and amoxicillin is similar, the bacteria having ampicillin resistance can also show amoxicillin resistance.
MODE OF ACTION OF AMOXICILLIN:
The amoxicillin binds with the pencillin binding proteins, present in the bacterial cell wall. The binding of the amoxicillin inhibits the enzyme transpepetidase, which is an important enzyme for the synthesis of the cell wall. it also inhibit murine hydrolases and inhibit the assembling of cell wall.
The amoxicillin effects the cell walls of the bacteria, as the animals cells do not have cell wall, they only have a cell membrane, the increase in the dose would not effect the animal cell.
As we know,
where,
- m = mass of the object = 0.15 kg
- g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
- h = height attained by the object = 4 m
let's find the potential energy of that Apple :
The correct options are as follows:
1. D.
Natural selection refers to the process by which living organisms that are more adapted to their environments usually survive and produce offspring that are like them. In the case of giraffes, the giraffes with the longest necks were able to survive in their environment and they reproduce offspring that are like them.
2. D
In the scientific world, scientists have open minds and they welcome all new ideas. These new ideas have to be tested to ensure that they are correct and superior to the facts that are already known. When a new hypothesis is put forward by a scientist, many scientists all over the world will test the hypothesis is order t confirm if it correct. If the hypothesis is found to be correct it will be accepted by all scientists.
3. A.
DNA test is a laboratory analysis that can be used to assess the level of relationship between living organisms. Related living organisms usually have some similar genes in their DNA, the level of closeness of these organisms will determine the quantity of similar genes that will be found in their DNA. Unrelated organisms on the other hand will have little or no similar genes in their DNA.
4. C.
The genetic code is the same across species, this fact points to the possibility that all living organisms originated from common ancestors. This support the evolution theory which stated that all living organisms descended from a common ancestor.
5. B.
Antibiotic drugs are usually effective against bacteria and other microbes, but the microbes can evolve and develop resistance to these drugs. Microbes are considered to have evolved when drugs that are used to inactivate them before no longer have any effect on them, thus they can easily survive in the presence of the drugs.
6. B.
If a particular specie of animal is able to avoid predators, it will increase in number more that those that are prey on by predators. The kings snakes were probably able to avoid predators, that is why, they were able to survive, reproduce offspring and increase in population in that particular ecosystem.
I think personal it is 6 but maybe other people have a better answer <span />
