Answer:

Bacteria and parasite

Explanation:

Antibiotics can only be used on bacterial infections and some parasites. They won't be effective against viral infections. Some examples of bacterial infections are pneumonia and strep throat. Parasitic infections include pinworms and tapeworms.

Antibiotics are used to treat or prevent some types of bacterial infection. They work by killing bacteria or preventing them from reproducing and spreading. Antibiotics aren't effective against viral infections, such as the common cold, flu, most coughs and sore throats.

Antibiotics may be used to treat bacterial infections that:

- Are unlikely to clear up without antibiotics.
- Could infect others unless treated
could take too long to clear without treatment.
- Carry a risk of more serious complication.

Three ways in which organisms use carbohydrates

Bumek [7]

Animals, plants, fungi and bacteria use carbohydrates in varying ways. For plants, carbohydrates form a large part of their structure in the form of cellulose. Animals use carbohydrates primarily for energy, such as starch, glucose and other sugars. Bacteria use carbohydrates for both structure and energy.

Which statements about the modification of chromatin structure in eukaryotes are true? Select all that apply. View Available Hin

Kay [80]

The correct answers are:

Methylation of histone tails in chromatin can promote condensation of the chromatin.

DNA is not transcribed when chromatin is packaged tightly in a condensed form.

Acetylation of histone tails is a reversible process.

Some forms of chromatin modification can be passed on to future generations of cells.

Acetylation of histone tails in chromatin allows access to DNA for transcription.

Histone modifications are post-translational modifications of histone protein that can affect gene expression by altering chromatin structure or recruiting histone modifiers.The most common modifications are methylation, phosphorylation, acetylation and ubiquitylation. All of them affect the binding affinity between histones and DNA and thus loosening (gene activation) or tightening (gene repression) the condensed DNA.

Histone methylation is a transfer of methyl group by histone methyltransferases to lysine or arginine amino acid of protein. Effect of methylation depends on the type of protein that is modified. Demethylation is the reverse process.

Histone acetylation is the process of adding of an acetyl group(by histone acetyltransferases) to histone proteins and it can also activate or inhibit the gene expression. Deacetilation is reverse process.
