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.

Answer:

There are several reasons why it might be a good idea to write down your ideas and discoveries when you perform initial research on a topic. First, when you begin your research, you might get a lot of questions and doubts because you are not familiar with the topic. If you write these down, you are more likely to seek answers to these questions later on and gain a better understanding of them. Second, your initial ideas might not be all good, but they might lead you towards a good thesis. Writing them down ensures that these are not lost. Finally, by writing down your ideas and thoughts you actively engage with the subject, leading you to a better understanding of it.
