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

Biology
1 answer:
lisov135 [29]2 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.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

One major side effect of DDT was the extreme damage to bird populations. DDT caused the shells of bird eggs to become extremely thin, which made them prone to breaking from minor disturbances and failing to thrive due to temperature regulation issues. It also slowly poisoned animals, especially birds that fed on insects that were poisoned by DDT. A notable bird species that was affected by DDT is the bald eagle. At one point in the 1960s, bald eagles nearly went extinct due to various effects of DDT. The threat of one of the most recognizable animals in America going extinct led to lawmakers trying to ban DDT.

What’s the width and height of the Epcot ball
AVprozaik [17]
The Epcot ball is a 165-ft diameter geodesic sphere that is elevated above the ground to stand 180 feet tall. Each face of the polyhedron is divided into three isosceles triangles to form each point. In theory, there are 11,520 total isosceles triangles forming 3840 points. Some of those triangles are partially or fully nonexistent due to supports and doors; there are actually only 11,324 silvered facets, with 954 partial or full flat triangular panels.
