Difference between i) bacteriostatic and bactericidal and ii) broad and narrow spectrum?

Biology
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Narrow-spectrum antibiotics target a few types of bacteria. Broad-spectrum antibiotics target many types of bacteria. Both types work well to treat infections. But using broad-spectrum antibiotics when they're not needed can create antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are hard to treat.

TRUE/FALSE
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A double-helical DNA molecule consists of two DNA strands. A DNA strand has free 5' phosphate at one end and a free hydroxyl group (OH) at its 3' end. A DNA double helix is said to be antiparallel since each end of the double helix has an exposed 5' phosphate on one strand and a free 3' hydroxyl group (OH) on the other. This means that the two DNA strands run in opposite directions. A phosphate group is always esterified to the 5' carbon of the pentose sugar; never at its 3' end.

Large animals need specialized organs for gas exchange because ________. a volume increases more rapidly than surface area as si
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

b. they require more oxygen per unit of volume.

Explanation:

Large animals have a specialized organs for exhalation and inhalation of gases due to the requirement of large amount of oxygen for cellular respiration. Respiration is a process in which energy is released in the form of Adenine tri phosphate (ATP) in the mitochondria of the cell with the addition of oxygen. The waste product such as carbondioxide is produced which is removed from the body body through lungs.

You examine an epithelial cell (skin cell) and notice the chromosomes are visible however it appears there are two nuclei in the
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The best explanation if we observe an epithelial cell with chromosomes are visible and two cell nuclei is that the cell has just gone through telophase but not cytokinesis (option b).

Explanation:

A somatic cell, when found in mitosis, exhibits the chromosomes distributed in both poles and the outline of two nuclei in the telophase phase, just before cytokinesis.

In mitotic telophase:

  • Chromatids, which are chromosomes, are found in the cell poles.
  • It initiates the formation of the nucleus membrane.
  • The chromosomes begin to turn into chromatin.
  • Disappearance of the mitotic spindle, duplication of organelles and cytoplasmic invagination.

The division and differentiation of the nuclei in telophase is called karyokinesis. Later, cytokinesis occurs, where the daughter cells are separated.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     a and d. In the other phases described, </em><em><u>S and G1,</u></em><em> no chromosome distribution is observed at the poles.</em>

<em>     c. A somatic cell does not experience </em><em><u>meiosis</u></em><em>.</em>

A scientist observes that, when the pH of the environment surrounding an enzyme is changed, the rate the enzyme catalyzes a reac
vredina [299]

Answer:

A- A pH change can cause the enzyme to change its shape

Explanation:

A rise or fall in the pH of the medium from the optimum of pH 7 usually affect  the  enzymes' active sites  of  and therefore the  shape and  the  rate of enzyme activity.

Assuming  the pH is too low, the enzyme medium becomes acidic;Acidosis. The high Hydrogen ions concentration  interacts with the R-groups of the amino acids moiety of the enzymes, this interaction affects the ionization of the  R-groups, disrupting the ionic bonding holding these R-groups in shape.

This results in loss of the 3-Dimensional shape arrangements of the protein molecule  and therefore of the active sites. Since active sites of  enzymes  determines the specificity of the <u>enzymes substrate- complex </u> to give <u>enzyme-product complex,</u> the catalytic activity of the enzymes decreases, <u>the rate of  reaction decreases,and products formation stops, and the reaction also stops.</u>

The same is applicable to extremely high pH=Alkalosis.

However, the effective buffer system of the body prevents this scenarios from happening in real sense in the body. Through mopping by the  haemoglobin, excretion by the kidney, etc
