What type of cells do antibiotics work on?

Biology
1 answer:
MaRussiya [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Prokaryotic cells

Explanation:

The reason antibiotics are so effective is because they have properties that selectively attack bacteria cells while leaving human cells unscathed.

Bacteria cells are prokaryotic which means that they have cells walls. Human cells on the other hand are Eukaryotic which do not usually have cell walls.

Antibiotics majorly work by attacking the cell walls of bacteria thus making it weak and prone to bursting or easier to destroy by the body's immune system while leaving human cells which do not have the cell walls.

Other antibiotics work in different ways but generally do so by attacking prokaryotic characteristics.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

None of the given options is correct. The correct solution is "Sprained ankle".

Explanation:

  • Brain activation is assessed by functional MRI via identifying causes an increase in blood flow. The assumption that brain blood flow and neural activity are linked is the basis of this methodology.
  • MRI allows excellent visualization of the structure of the ankle, allowing ligament defects and their related osteochondral including tendon disorders to be correctly identified. In patients with such an uncertain psychiatric history although with equivocal otherwise complicated psychiatric exams, MRI can be particularly useful for early diagnosis of syndesmotic lesions.  

All those other alternatives are not linked to a working MRI. Then the option above is appropriate.
