Answer:
Amoxicillin inhibits an enzyme required to build cell walls in bacteria.
Since humans have cell membranes, they are unaffected by amoxicillin.
Explanation:
Antibiotics are specifically designed to target bacterial cells, therefore, they don't kill human cells.
Amoxicillin, a type of penicillin, inhibits the biosynthesis of bacterial cell wall. The bacterial cell wall contains peptidoglycan that constitutes almost 95% of the cell wall in some Gram positive bacteria and as little as 5-10% of the cell wall in Gram negative bacteria. Amoxicillin inhibits the cross linkage between the linear peptidoglycan polymer chains that make up a major component of the cell walls of both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.
Yong would have to know physical science because your messaging the human body which is physically speaking is touch.
I think its D. Mitosis is the division of a parent cell, producing 2 identical daughter cells whereas meiosis is the division of 2 germ cells, producing 4 non-identical gametes.
Answer:
a. preventing the cross-linkage of NAM subunits
Explanation:
The bacterial cell wall is made of peptidoglycan which is a polymer of alternating N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) residues. The NAM residues are crosslinked to impart additional strength to the cell wall.
Most of the antibiotics that target the cell wall synthesis in bacteria inhibit the enzyme of transpeptidation which in turn cross-links the NAM residues of the polysaccharide chains of the bacterial cell wall. Examples of these antibiotics include penicillins and cephalosporins.
