Answer:

Penicillin binds and inhibits bacterial enzyme DD-transpeptidase.

Explanation:

Penicillin is made up of 4 rings of β-lactam and acts by binding to DD-transpeptidase of bacteria. The DD-transpeptidase facilitates the cross-linking of the peptidoglycan cell wall of bacteria. This leads to malformation of the protective cell wall of the bacteria and causes it to lyze and die.

How do birds digest their food in the absence of teeth?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

They have a gizzard to grind the food.

Explanation:

Birds cannot chew since they have no teeth. However, the beak allows them to split very large seeds or swallow them directly.

For their digestion they have a stomach where digestion enzymes are released. Also they have a gizzard that is an organ that grinds the food mechanically. This gizzard usually has small stones inside that were previously ingested and that helps to digest the food.
