Answer:

Tetracycline was discovered in the 1940s and is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Tetracycline is an antibiotic which kills the bacteria by inhibiting the synthesis of protein.  

Tetracycline act by inhibiting the process of translation by preventing the binding of aminoacyl-charged tRNA to the A site of the ribosome.

Since the aminoacyl charged tRNA does not bind the A site therefore the process of translation is inhibited.

The mechanism whereby an enveloped virus leaves a host cell is called
Levart [38]

Answer:

Release or egress

Explanation:

Virus can reproduce only within a host cell, this cycle of infection begins with the <em>attachment</em>, where the virus attaches to a specific receptor site on the host cell, after this comes the<em> entry,</em> in the case of enveloped virus, the envelope can fuse directly with the cell membrane to enter the cell, they can also enter through endocytosis. After entering the cell the virus initiates a <em>replication  and assembly </em>mechanism depending on its genome, finally, the last stage of viral replication is the <em>release or egress </em>of the new virions produced in the host organism, some viruses can be released when the host cell dies, but some can leave infected cells by budding through the membrane without directly killing the cell.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

How would an object blocking a bronchus affect its airflow?
igomit [66]
Because the lung has two bronchi, it can still function if one bronchus is blocked by a foreign object. No gas exchange will happen to the affected side, and the other lung will compensate for the loss of air. The blocked portion though can become inflamed and can lead to infection and damage.
