A and D are made of rock minerals and dirt, B is incorrect
Cell-wall inhibiting antimicrobial drugs be less effective on gram-negative bacteria compared to gram-positive bacteria because the outer membrane of the gram-negative bacteria inhibits penetration of the drug and the peptidoglycan found in gram-positive bacteria is structurally different from that in gram-negative bacteria.
Answer: Option B & C
<u>Explanation:</u>
Antimicrobial drugs are induced into a body to act on that particular selective bacterium which causes disease. When antimicrobial drugs are injected they act efficiently on the gram positive bacteria inhibiting the proliferation of the cells by acting on the cell wall so that cell multiplication doesn’t happen.
On the other hand it is hard to act on the gram-negative bacteria as it has a cell membrane that inhibits drug penetration into it. Both cell walls contain peptidoglycan but in the gram-positive is more assembled and layered while in the gram-negative it is just a thin layer. As gram-positive is thick layered it provides place for another molecule to attach to it but the thin layer in gram-negative inhibits it.
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

Answer:
The condition of the Earth had to become favourable before it could support any form of life.
The formation of the different layers around the earth like the ozone layer was necessary before life could originate. Primitive species such as some prokaryotes were able to live in hydrothermal conditions during the initial times. With the passage of time, as the concentration of oxygen increased due to photosynthetic prokaryotes, situations became favourable for eukaryotic organisms to arise.
