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.

The motor cortex is part of the ________.
max2010maxim [7]

The correct answer is A. Cerebrum

Explanation:

The motor cortex is an area of the cerebral cortex (outer layer of the cerebrum in the brain), this area is the one responsible for movements especially voluntary ones and including the movement of different parts of the body such as the limbs, the jaw, the tongue, the eyeballs, the neck, etc. Additionally, due to the complexity of the motor cortex, this is divided into three areas located in the same zone that include the primary motor cortex, the supplementary motor area, and the premotor cortex. According to this, it can be concluded the motor cortex is part of the cerebrum as it is located in the cerebral cortex which is part of it (cerebrum).
