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.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Similar to the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA, each pyruvate molecule loses a carbon atom with the release of carbon dioxide. During the decomposition of pyruvate, electrons move to NAD + to produce NADH. It is used by cells to produce ATP.

  • NADH: Three molecules are produced in the Kleb circuit

  • FADH2: One molecule is produced in the Kleb circuit

  • ATP or GTP: From each molecule of pyruvate during the conversion of succinyl-CoA to succinic acid Two molecules of ATP are produced. The presence of the enzyme succinyl-CoA synthetase.
