Clindamycin inhibits the synthesis of ARN proteins in chain elongation phase. As a result tRNA dissociates from the ribosome and does not allow to incorporate amino acids. They cover positive cocci, anaerobes and some anaerobic negative bacilli.

Side effects include:

Dermatological: rashes, erythema multiforme, anaphylaxis

Diarrhea

Colitis induced by antibiotics (pseudomembranous colitis)

Mild alteration of liver function tests

F the plankton contain 100,000 kcal of energy, about how much energy will the manta ray obtain from eating the starfish? 10 kcal
AveGali [126]

Answer:

100kcal

Explanation:

The law in energy transfer in the food chain is that only 10% of total energy is transferred.

The food chain between the plankton and starfish follows;

Plankton - Mussels and Oysters - Starfishes - Manta Ray

Plankton being the producer produces 100,000kcal

Mussels/Oysters get 10% of 100,000kcal= 10,000kcal.

Starfish gets 10% of 10,000kcal = 1,000kcal

Manta Ray being the final consumer of starfish gets 10% of 1,000kcal = 100kcal
