Answer:

c)peptidoglycan synthesis and cell walls

Explanation:

The main points of action of antibiotics are inhibition of bacterial cell wall peptideoglycan synthesis, cytoplasmic membrane damage and interference with nucleic acid and protein synthesis.

The bacterial cell wall is formed by peptideoglycan. Penicillin and other antibiotics prevent its complete synthesis, consequently weaken the cell wall and the cell lyses. Because human cells lack peptideoglycan, penicillin has low toxicity to the host cell. The synthesis of peptideoglycan components is affected by β-lactam antibiotics (penicillins and cephalosporins).

For this reason, we can conclude that the antibiotics described in the above question are those that target peptidoglycan and cell wall synthesis.

Which recommendation is the most sensible food choice
Stella [2.4K]

Hello.

A. Grains is like bread and paste, which if I remember right from previous classes, isn't something that you want a lot of. Bread and pastes fill you up quickly, and if you eat to mch can cause a person to become overweight.

B. The DIR says the intake for protein should be 0.8 per body weight. Also protein should only fill 15% of your food portions.

C. Avoid drinking milk? this is completely not right, you need milk.

D. Fruits and vegetables should only be 25% of your food portions.

So, the option that I would chose would be either option B or D.

I hope this helps you!
