An antimicrobial<span> is an agent that kills microorganisms or inhibits their growth. </span>Antimicrobial <span>medicines can be grouped according to the microorganisms they act primarily against. For example, antibiotics are used against bacteria and antifungals are used against fungi.
</span>
Selective toxicity<span> refers to the ability of the drug to targets sites that are relative specific to the microorganism responsible for infection. Sometimes these sites are unique to the microorganism or simply more essential to survival of the microorganism than to the host.

Selective theory relates to antimicrobial because the antimicrobial is the drug that kills microorganisms and inhibits there growth,  selective theory is the ability of the drug.

Help me please please
natita [175]

Answer:

1) A

2) Could be A, B,  or D

Explanation:

1)   Prokaryote is a single celled organism that has no distinct nucleus, membrane  - bound organelles, and specialized organelles (such as the mitochondria).

This definition would only match A) a bacteria cell because all the other cells are called Eukaryotas (which are more complex and have membrane - bound organelles).

2) The answer could be A because Prokaryotic cells lack membrane bound organelles

The answer could be B because the diagram has labeled the cell membrane as "plasma membrane"

The answer could NOT be C because Prokaryotic cells do not have nucleus's, but have free floating DNA.

The answer could be D because it is the only image that has a flagellum (which helps the cell move)

I am sorry I couldn't answer this question completely, but I think that this question has flaws.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
