Answer:

antibodies being produced to fight off a pathogen inside the body

Explanation:

Specific immune responses, also known as the adaptive immune system are ways the body fights against pathogens. The body is able to identify cells that are unique to it. When pathogens bearing an unknown identity enter the body, antibodies are released to attack the antigens on the surface of these pathogens.

The body usually develops this immunity after a previous attack by the pathogen. Lymphocytes known as the B and T cells are released by the immune system t engulf the pathogens.

B-lactam-containing antibiotics
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

β-Lactam antibiotics are the antibiotics that contain β-Lactam rings in their structures like in cephalosporins and penicillin.

The antibiotics act by inhibiting or disrupting the process of cell wall formation in the bacteria which is mediated by an enzyme called penicillin-binding proteins.

To bind covalently to the PBP proteins, the antibiotic has to diffuse through the bacterial cell wall. since the gram-negative bacteria contain an additional lipopolysaccharide layer which decreases the penetration of the antibiotic, therefore, the gram-positive bacteria lacking the additional layer are more susceptible than gram-negative bacteria.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.
