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.

Which of the following plants would you expect to grow lowest to the ground?
4vir4ik [10]
Among the listed plants above, the one that we can expect to grow lowest to the ground would be the hornworts. Hornworts are non-vascular plants which can be found both on water and land. Since these plants do not have a vascular system, it is hard for them to move water internally due to the force of gravity which explains why they cannot grow more above the ground.
