Answer:

Novobiocin target DNA GYRASE of gram positive bacteria.

Explanation:

Novobiocin is a bacteriostatic(slow down bacteria growth) or bactericidal i.e it kills bacteria , narrow spectrum antibiotics that target DNA GYRASE of gram positive bacteria. It acts by inhibiting the bacteria DNA gyrase hydrolysis thereby by interfering with the metabolic activities of bacteria. It is also a weak catalytic inhibitor of mammalian. Novobiocin inhibit DNA gyrase and topoIV by binding to the ATP pocket of GyrB and ParE, respectively.The Streptomyces strain that produces Novobiocin and it is more effective on gram positive bacteria that gram negative bacteria because gram negative bacteria are resistant to it.

Why can the complex sugar cellulose store more energy that the sugar glucose
adelina 88 [10]

Because they contain less "built-in" water.

Explanation:

When two glucose molecules 'decide' to bond, they lose a molecule of water:

<span>2<span>C6</span><span>H12</span><span>O6</span>→<span>C12</span><span>H22</span><span>O11</span>+<span>H2</span>O</span>

And this happens at every connection between glucose molecules, so in a long chain a lot of water is lost. The water does not contribute anything to the energy content of the compound.

Lactose, or milk sugar, is composed of one glucose unit and one galactose unit. It can be classified as a disaccharide.

<h3>What is disaccharide?</h3>

Any material made up of two simple sugar molecules (monosaccharides), coupled to one another, is referred to as a disaccharide, often known as double sugar.

A disaccharide (also known as a double sugar) is the sugar that results from the glycosidic connection of two monosaccharides (simple sugars). Disaccharides are water soluble, just as monosaccharides. The sugars sucrose, lactose, and maltose are three typical examples.

Disaccharides. Two monosaccharide units are joined by glycosidic linkages in either the or orientation to form disaccharides. Sucrose, lactose, and maltose are the three most significant ones.
