Answer:

Cell wall synthesis

Explanation:

Antibiotics are the compounds that work against bacteria and kills bacteria or slow their growth. Every antibiotic have their own mode of action. Beta-lactam antibiotics like penicillin and cephalosporins work on cell wall synthesis.

They stop the synthesis of peptidoglycan by inhibiting the transpeptidation reaction. So when no new cell wall is added into bacteria, holes creates in the cell wall which allows the free movement of solute inside the bacteria cell that results in osmotic lysis of the bacterial cell. Therefore the right answer is cell wall synthesis.

In what direction does blood flow through the heart? a) from ventricles to atria b) from a region of high pressure to a region o
Sauron [17]

Answer:

b) from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure

Explanation:

Blood flow is measured in blood volume per unit time. It is the movement of blood through an organ, tissue or vessel. It is initiated when ventricles in heart contract leading to its ejection at high pressure. Major arteries receive this blood and they further transport it at high pressure to smaller arteries, arterioles and capillaries. Hence arteries have thick walls to withstand this pressure. The pressure decreases when blood reaches to veins hence their walls are not that thick.  Hence, blood flows from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure.

Would a bacterial cell undergo mitosis in the same way as a eukaryotic cell? Why or why not?
nikklg [1K]
Unlike eukaryotes, prokaryotes (which include bacteria) undergo a type of cell division known as binary fission. In some respects, this process is similar to mitosis; it requires replication of the cell's chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA, and splitting of the parent cell's cytoplasm.
