A scientist discovers that a soil bacterium he has been studying produces an antimicrobial that kills gram-negative bacteria. Sh

e isolates and purifies the antimicrobial compound, then chemically converts a chemical side chain to a hydroxyl group. When she tests the antimicrobial properties of this new version, she finds that this antimicrobial drug can now also kill gram-positive bacteria. The new antimicrobial drug with broad-spectrum activity is considered to be which of the following?
resistant
semisynthetic
synthetic
natural

Answer:

semisynthetic

Explanation:

Broad spectrum antibacterials are active against the Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms.  

For example phenicols,  tetracyclines .

Semisynthetic drugs -

As known as the partial chemical synthesis , it is a type of chemical synthesis that uses chemical compounds which are isolated from any natural source .

Semisynthesis is a cheaper method , as the initial substance is extracted from nature and rest few steps require chemical , which make it cheap and quicker process of drug synthesis .

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Hi

In the atmosphere, cloud drops form on aerosols called condensation nuclei. The formation rate of the cloud droplets is determined by the number of cores. In general, aerosols can be classified, according to their affinity with water, into hygroscopic, neutral and hydrophobic. Nucleation on a neutral aerosol needs almost the same supersaturation as homogeneous nucleation; on a hydrophobic aerosol, nucleation is more difficult and more supersaturation is required. On the hygroscopic particles, which are soluble and have an affinity with water, the supersaturation that is needed for the formation of the droplets may be less than for homogeneous nucleation.

2) Sperm cells come from embryo's gut while other cells can be found in blood , connective tissue , skin , bones etc.

3)Sperm cells are produced through meiosis while other cells are produced from mitosis.

4) Sperm cells are involved in reproduction while other cells have their specific functions in their specific locations.

5) Sperm cells are present is reproductive part or body while other cells are located everywhere.

6) Sperm cells originate from germ cells while other cells originate from stem cells.

7) Sperm cells are smaller then other cells of body.

8) Sperm cells are no more than a nucleus with small amount of cytoplasm and some mitochondrion while other cells follow normal symmetry.
