Answer:
Bacterial DNA is a double-stranded helix that has to separate its strands during replication. The unwinding of DNA strands at the replication fork creates twists farther down the helix that need to be relaxed by DNA gyrase. Ciprofloxacin inhibits this enzyme to block DNA synthesis and stop the deadly bacteria from growing.
Explanation:
DNA which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid is the molecules that stores genetic information in most living organisms. For successive reproduction to take place as well as growth to occurs in organisms, the genetic information stored in the DNA must be copied into new cells. This is achieved through the process of DNA replication.
DNA is a double-stranded molecule that is helical in shape. For replication to occur, the double strands has to be separated so that the information stored within can be accessed and then copied. DNA helicases are enzymes which are essential during DNA replication because they separate double-stranded DNA into single strands allowing each strand to be copied. The unwinding of DNA strands at the replication fork creates twists farther down the helix that need to be relaxed otherwise, the DNA strands will break. The enzyme responsible for relaxation these twists is known as DNA gyrase. Thus, any drug like Ciprofloxacin than inhibits DNA gyrase will block the DNA replication process in bacteria thereby stopping the growth of the bacteria.
C) is definitely the bacterium!
A) look like a paramecium with it's flagela and vacuole
B) is a plant cell with chloroplasts
D) could be an animal cell, plant, or fungal since it has a nucleus
**remember: bacteria lack ALL membrane bound organelles: nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, E.R.!!
Whales play an important part within the marine ecosystem, and if they were to disappear, the delicate balance of nature would be disrupted. According to Scitable, every time a whale dies, it leaves behind a carcass that provides food and vital nutrition for literally hundreds of marine life organisms. For instance, species of scavenger crustaceans and worms feast upon whale carcasses for sustenance.
Other species of fish, including sharks, also obtain food from a whale carcass. Without this bountiful source of food, certain parts of the ocean would cease to thrive.
Living whales also heavily contribute to the marine ecosystem in the form of whale feces. According to the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife News, a study found that whale feces is filled with rich nutrients that include nitrogen, which stimulates the growth of plants. Organisms, such as plankton, that feed the ocean food chain also benefit from tons of whale feces floating on the ocean's surface. The disappearance of this source of natural nitrogen is likely to have a negative effect on plant and food production.
An overpopulation of sea lions would quickly be evident as soon as the whales that prey on them vanished. Likewise, the economies of Canada and the United States would suffer from a lack of tourist dollars because whale watching is very popular.

I think I'm sorry if it's wrong:(
