Why is it difficult to evaporate seawater?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: Different liquids will evaporate differently depending on the force of attraction between the molecules of the liquid. The weaker the force of attraction the higher the rate of evaporation and vice versa.

In Sea water the water molecules are attracted to the salt ions and thus it requires more energy to evaporate.

In humans, the antibiotic amoxicillin (a type of penicillin) is used to treat certain bacterial infections. Complete the sentenc

mihalych1998 [28]

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.
