There are a large number of antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis at 70s ribosomes found in bacterial cells but do not inte

rfere with protein synthesis at the 80s ribosomes found in eukaryotic cells. Some of these antibiotics bind to the smaller ribosomal subunit and interfere with the reading of the mRNA code, whereas others bind to the larger ribosomal subunit and inhibit the formation of peptide bonds. Unfortunately, some of the antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria exhibit some toxicity to the eukaryotic host cells as well. What is the most likely reason for this toxicity to the host cell?
A. These antibiotics interfere with DNA replication in eukaryotic cell nuclei.
B. These antibiotics bond to eukaryotic tRNA.
C. These antibiotics interfere with protein synthesis within eukaryotic mitochondria.
D. These antibiotics bind to eukaryotic cytoplasmic ribosomes.
E. These antibiotics plug up the membrane transport mechanisms in eukaryotic cells.

Answer:

C. These antibiotics interfere with protein synthesis within eukaryotic mitochondria.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic mitochondria have 70s ribosomes and is made up of 50s and 30s subunits which has similarities to the ribosomes of bacterial cells. This likeness

at times causes antibiotics that ought to be toxic to bacterial ribosomes to cause some toxicity in eukaryotic cells instead.

You will develop a brief portfolio detailing the history of tsunamis in a modern society that could be used to teach others.
Maru [420]

The 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami gave us a vivid description of menace of major tsunamis. It also suggested that tsunami science and engineering were inevitable to save human society, industries, and natural environment.

An answer can be found in Japan. Japan is the country the most frequently hit by tsunamis in the world. The experiences are well documented and are continued as the local legends. In 1896, the tsunami science started when the Meiji Great Sanriku Tsunami claimed 22,000 lives. An idea of comprehensive countermeasures was officially introduced after the 1933 Showa Great Sanriku Tsunami. The major works taken after this tsunami, however, were the relocation of dwelling houses to high ground and tsunami forecasting that started in 1941. The 1960 Chilean Tsunami opened the way to the tsunami engineering by elaborating coastal structures for tsunami defense. The 1983 Japan Sea Earthquake Tsunami that occurred during a fine daytime cleared the veil of actual tsunamis. The 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki Earthquake Tsunami led to the practical comprehensive tsunami disaster prevention used at present, in which three components, defense structures, tsunami-resistant town development and evacuation based on warning are combined.

The present paper briefs the history of tsunami research in Japan that supports countermeasures.

Use the model to explain how celiac disease interrupts the normal transportation of energy and other nutrients from the digestiv
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

According to the model, the "villi" of small intestines is being damaged as an impact of celiac disease. Small intestines are responsible for absorption of nutrients and minerals from food, this occurs through villi, in case of damaged villi absorption is interfered, thus disturbing the digestive system. If the nutrients, minerals or vitamins are not being absorbed well by small intestines then they will be excreted out of the body and will not be transported to the blood and other areas, this would result in deficiency of minerals and vitamins  in blood that cause weakness.
