A) Explain why antibiotics would kill a prokaryotic cell. (2 points)

Biology
1 answer:
lisov135 [29]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Antibiotics are simply chemicals that kill prokaryotic cells but do not harm eukaryotic cells. They are natural chemicals produced by fungi and bacteria that act to control their bacterial competitors. For example, streptomycin stops protein synthesis in prokaryotic cells by binding to their unusual ribosomes.

Explanation:

Sorry if this makes no sense. Basically, the antibiotics will harm/kill cells like the prokaryotic cell, but it won't harm or kill any human cells that are essential. They'll kill bacteria, though. The chemicals in the antibiotics aren't compatible with the ones in the prokaryotic cell, so it'll kill it.

All of the following are macromolecules except:
Harman [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. Fatty acids

Explanation:

There are four major types of macromolecules present in nature and that are carbohydrates(polysaccharides), proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. These macromolecules are polymers and are made up of monomer units.  

The monomeric unit of polysaccharides is mainly glucose, of protein is amino acids, of nucleic acid is nucleotides and the monomeric unit of lipid is fatty acids. Ribosomes are macromolecules because it is made up of RNA  and proteins.

So fatty acid is a monomer which joins together to form large macromolecules like lipids. Fatty acids are made up of a hydrocarbon chain which have one attached COOH group at the terminal position.

Therefore the correct answer is c. Fatty acids.
