The antibiotic penicillin is isolated from <u><em>Penicillium notatum</em></u> fungi

Penicillin was first discovered in 1928 and was used at St. Mary's Hospital, London, by Alexander Fleming to heal wounds due to its antibacterial properties.

Explanation:

Fungi and bacteria usually produce antibiotics (as secondary metabolites) for defense mechanism. They do so to limit competition for resources with other neighboring fungi or bacteria in their environment.  This is why when a fungus or bacteria establishes itself in an environment, you hardly see other fungi or bacteria types growing in their vicinity.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1. The sensory layer of the eye. B) Retina

2. The structure most responsible for focusing light rays that enter the eye. D) Lens

3. Helps maintain the intraocular pressure; located in the anterior part of the eye. A) Aqueous humor

4. Area of greatest visual acuity. C) Fovea centralis

Explanation:

1. The sensory layer of the eye.

The retina covers the inside of the eyeball. It is considered as the sensory organ of the eye, where the perceived images are projected, are processed in the form of a nerve impulse that leaves the optic nerve.

2. The structure most responsible for focusing light rays that enter the eye.

The lens are the transparent structure inside the eye that focuses light rays in the central part of the retina.

3. Helps maintain the intraocular pressure; located in the anterior part of the eye.

The aqueous humor, is a transparent aqueous fluid secreted by the ciliary body, this liquid derived from the blood plasma, distributes oxygen and nutrients to the upper part of the eye and eliminates residual products. The dynamics of production and elimination of aqueous humor is very important to keep intraocular pressure (IOP) within normal limits.

4. Area of greatest visual acuity.

The fovea, or also known fovea centralis, is the center of the visual field, it is a narrow area of the retina that only contains cones. Its function is to help us have a vision as clear as possible with all kinds of details and precision.
