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 two nutrients that typically limit primary productivity of ecosystems are phosphorus and __________. A. calcium B. carbon C.
Mrrafil [7]
The answer is C. nitrogen.

Plants are main producers in ecosystems so, primary productivity of ecosystems depends on them. Carbon is necessary for plants, but it is widely present in plants. On the other hand, calcium and sodium are not as essential. However, nitrogen is important for plants because it is necessary to make proteins. Proteins take part in many different processes such as photosynthesis (this is actually primary productivity). But, nitrogen is not available to plants, they cannot absorb it simply from the air but rely on some symbiotic bacteria which are able to.

igomit [66]

The answer is; Porosity which affects soil texture

The largest particle size is referred to as sand,  medium is silt, while the small particles are clay. Soil texture is determined by the ratio of these three in its mixture. Soil with a higher proportion of clay becomes waterlogged easily when it rains. The right kind of soil for farming is loam because it is well drained.
