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.

All of the following are transmembrane pumps that facilitate active transport except?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

b) Channel pumps

Explanation:

The channels are the transmembrane proteins that serve in the passive transport of substances down the concentration gradient. The channels can be gated or non-gated. The gated channels are opened and closed in response to certain stimuli such as electrical change.

For example, aquaporins are the gated water channels that transport the water across the plasma membrane. The process is driven by the osmotic gradient and does not use the energy of ATP.

The number of hydrogen atoms in 6NH3 is
mamaluj [8]

No 6 is common for N and H. 3 is only for H(Hydrogen).

For finding the number of hydrogen atoms we should multiply 6 with 3

 So, 6*3 = 18. So there will be 18 hydrogen atoms in 6NH₃

A researcher incubates a cell with radiolabeled amino acids. These amino acids are incorporated into the proteins as they are sy
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The incorporation of radiolabeled amino acids during protein synthesis occurs when the data shows the organelles involved with protein synthesis, packaging and transport, that is, radioactivity levels would increase first at the rough endoplasmic reticulum, followed by the Golgi, and then the secretory vesicles (option C).

Explanation:

Protein synthesis in the cell occurs when RNA -which contains the sequence of triplets or codons that make up the genetic code- is coupled to ribosomes.

Each codon or triplet, consisting of three nucleotides, will give instructions for specific amino acids to be incorporated into the polypeptide chain that is being synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

The Golgi apparatus is responsible for packaging or packaging the newly synthesized proteins in secretory vesicles for transport.

<em>In consecuense, </em><u><em>radioactivity levels would increase in the organelles involved in protein synthesis, packaging and transport, the rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and secretory vesicles</em></u><em>, respectively.</em>
