The amoxicillin and the ampicillin are known to degrade the cell wall. both of these antibiotics have β- lactam in their structure. The structure of the ampicillin and the amoxicillin is similar having a single difference at the 4th position of benzene ring. The structure of the amoxicillin have an addition OH or hydroxyl group at the 4th position in the benzene ring.
As the structure of ampicillin and amoxicillin is similar, the bacteria having ampicillin resistance can also show amoxicillin resistance.
MODE OF ACTION OF AMOXICILLIN:
The amoxicillin binds with the pencillin binding proteins, present in the bacterial cell wall. The binding of the amoxicillin inhibits the enzyme transpepetidase, which is an important enzyme for the synthesis of the cell wall. it also inhibit murine hydrolases and inhibit the assembling of cell wall.
The amoxicillin effects the cell walls of the bacteria, as the animals cells do not have cell wall, they only have a cell membrane, the increase in the dose would not effect the animal cell.
A transitional aquatic ecosystem is one type among the aquatic systems.
There are two types in it.
Explanation:
- Estuary is formed when freshwater from the river combines with salt water from the ocean.
- The estuary is a home for a variety of species.
- Algae and marsh grasses are dominant producers.
- Wetlands are saturated with water and support aquatic plants for their survival.
- It serves as a living place for a variety of species ranging from reptiles, birds to some mammals
Answer:
planetesimal is (astronomy) any of many small, solid astronomical objects, that orbit a star and form protoplanets through mutual gravitational attraction while planet is (astronomy) a body which orbits the sun directly and is massive enough to be in hydrostatic equilibrium (effectively meaning a spheroid)
Answer:
Two-element compounds are usually ionic when one element is a metal and the other is a non-metal.
Explanation:
sodium chloride: NaCl, with Na+ and Cl- ions
lithium nitride: Li3N, with Li+ and N3- ions
magnesium oxide: MgO, with Mg2+ and O2- ions
calcium phosphide: Ca3P2, with Ca2+ and P3- ions
