Answer:

d. Ribosome

f. Cell wall

Explanation:

In humans 80s type of ribosome is present and in bacteria 70s type of ribosome is present. Human cells do not have cell wall while bacterial cells have peptidoglycan cell wall. These differences can be targeted by the potential antibacterial agents.

For example, tetracycline antibiotic inhibits the binding of important molecules to bacterial ribosome which ultimately inhibits the protein synthesis in bacteria. Vancomycin antibiotic on other hand inhibits the cell wall formation in bacteria by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D)  How is the number of frogs in Massachusetts affected by pollution</em>

Explanation:

A scientific question can be described as a question which can be answered through the scientific method of research. Based on the scientific question, a hypothesis can be formulated. For example, for the option D, the hypothesis can be 'if the pollution increases, then the number of frogs decreases.' A hypothesis is a tentative statement which can be tested through experiments. Based on these experiments, results are formulated and conclusions are drawn. The question mentioned in option D can be answered through this method hence, it is the correct option.

Which of the following explains how movement of material within earth causes volcanic eruptions
EleoNora [17]

The following choices are provided;

One plate moves below the other due to the movements in the inner core.

One plate moves below the other due to the movements in the mantle.

A plate slides past another due to the movements in the inner core.

A plate slides past another due to the movements in the mantle

The answer is; One plate moves below the other due to the movements in the mantle.

It is common that such convergent boundaries have a cascade of volcanic ranges. This is because as the oceanic plate moves below the continental plate the pressure and high temperatures cause the rock to melt and become magma. The magma makes it way up the crust through fissure and erupts.
