Answer:

The correct answer is D) selective toxicity

Explanation:

Selective toxicity refers to the ability of antimicrobial drug to selectively kill or harm the pathogen/microbes without harming the host cell. Therefore a drug who have selective toxicity rarely cause any side effect in the humans.

For example, penicillin is the drug that show selective toxicity because it acts on the cell wall of bacteria made up of peptidoglycan so it do not harm human cell as human cell do not have cell wall or peptidoglycan.  

Therefore as amoxicillin rarely cause side effect in humans and effectively treat infection by gram-positive bacteria therefore it is an example of selective toxicity.

Which of the following statements is correct with respect to bryophyte development?
Darina [25.2K]

 

<span>The answer is Haploid spores germinate to give rise to protonema, which later develops into a sporophyte.</span>

A protonema (plural: protonemata) is a thread-like chain of cells that forms the earliest stage (the haploid phase) of a bryophyte life cycle..
<span>A haploid gametophyte ( each of whose cells contains a fixed number of unpaired </span>chromosomes)  gives rise to a <span>diploid sporophyte</span>,. Gametophytes produce haploid sperm and eggs which fuse to form diploid zygotes that grow into sporophytes.

Alizarin yellow is a pH indicator that transitions from red to yellow when the pH falls from a value of 11 to below 10. Why is p
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The correct answer is - acidic conditions wouldn't trigger a change in the color of Alizarin yellow.

Explanation:

The growth of E. coli generally occurs at neutral pH, however, its growth is normal at acidic conditions as well.  The change in the growth of  E. coli is not able to detect by alizarin.

The phenol red turns yellow in the presence of an acid, and the change in pH in an alkaline environment can be detected by the red color of phenol red. Growth of E.coli will grow in pH of 10-12 . But, very slowly. The color change in alizarin is also apparent at pH 10.2 to 12 only.
