The bacterial cell membrane can be targeted for killing it. Inhibition of the synthesis of the components of cell wall will not allow the bacteria to grow.
The genetic material of the bacteria- DNA can be targeted. When DNA is cleaved, or damaged, then the bacteria will die.
The cellular components of the bacteria may be targeted. If a organelle, or a component is responsible for production or transport of proteins, and it is targeted by anti-bacterial compound, then protein synthesis machinery of bacteria will stop working, and it will not be able to perform a number of functions, and eventually die.

olga55 [171]

The question is not complete but it can be answered in general as the plants cannot survive in acidic conditions.

Answer: High acidity is harmful to this type of plant.

Explanation:

The plants that were kept in the higher acidic conditions are less likely to grow in higher acidic conditions.

The plants that were kept in more basic conditions will also not grow properly as the pH of the soil should be neutral, slightly acidic or slightly basic.

The plants that was kept as a control on the pH of 7 will grow the best as the pH is optimum for the growth of the plants.

The conclusion is high acidity is harmful for the life of the plants.
