lakkis [162]3 years ago
6 0
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.

When these sediments settle, it continues to do so until so much sediment accumulate and they start to press down on each other. The sediments then start to go through compaction and sedimentation which for a sedimentary rock.

Metamorphic rocks form under heat and pressure. They are squeezed and shaped and go through <u>metamorphosis </u>or go through change. A metamorphic rock can be formed from any other type of rock as long as it goes through changes due to intense pressure and/or heat.
