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.

What are two major advantages of high-yield modern agriculture? what are the major harmful environmental impacts of agriculture?
goldfiish [28.3K]
1.High yield modern agriculture refers to the practice of breeding genetically modified crops or using fertilizer to increase the production yield of planted crops. Two advantage of high yield modern agriculture are:
1. Production of large quantities of planted crops.
2. Ability to select and breed plants with superior qualities.

2. Agriculture have some negative influence on the environment, the major harmful environmental impacts of agriculture are:
a.  Habitat loss: Agricultural practices present great danger to species and ecosystem. This is because, farmed areas serve as habitats for different types of wild plants and animals. Farming the areas makes these living organisms to lose their habitats and these throw the ecosystem into imbalance.
b. Soil erosion and degradation: When natural vegetation are converted into agricultural lands, the breaking up of the soil leads to erosion, which wash away the top soil and the nutrients that are embedded in it. 
c. Pollution: The chemicals that are used during farming operations, such as fertilizers, pesticides, etc. cause pollution of the air and the surrounding waters.
3. Soil erosion is the process by which the top layers of soils are carried away by agents such as wind and water. The biggest negative effect of soil erosion is the loss of top soil. The top soil is the part of the soil that contain most of the nutrients that plants use to grow. When this part of the soil is lost, the soil usually becomes non fertile. Soil erosion can also lead to water pollution. When soils are eroded from the farm lands and carried to the surrounding waters, the waters will be polluted by the chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers, which are had been used on the soils. This can lead to the death of the animals that are living in the waters.

Lisa had 20 grams of water. She poured out 15 grams. Which of the following physical properties of the water changes? (4 points)
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Volume

Explanation:

The boiling point and density of water never changes, no matter how much you add

So the answer CAN'T be Boiling point or Density

Electrical Conductivity changes <em>only when the number of ions in a solution changes</em>

So it CAN'T be Electrical Conductivity

It has to be VOLUME because volume is the only physical property that changes when you add or take away liquid from a liquidous mixture

Define bronchiole and alveoli.​
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

\huge\purple{\overline{\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \ \ \ }}

Your bronchioles are some of the smallest airways in your lungs. Inhaled air passes through tiny ducts from the bronchioles into elastic air sacs (alveoli). The alveoli are surrounded by the alveolar-capillary membrane, which normally prevents liquid in the capillaries from entering the air sacs.
