which mechanism of action is being described when an antibiotic drug causes the destruction of bacterial cell walls

Biology
1 answer:
Dimas [21]3 years ago
7 0

The mechanism of action described when an antibiotic drug causes the destruction of bacterial cell walls is NONSELECTIVE INTERACTION. These drugs do not interact with specific molecules.

Nonselective drugs are involved in nonselective interactions, i.e., they act on a variety of receptors and/or enzymes.

Nonselective drugs can target different cellular structures (e.g., bacterial cell walls) and/or metabolic processes.

For example, Phenocybenzamine is a nonselective drug that can affect different receptors, which is used for the treatment of high blood pressure and sweating associated with pheochromocytoma.

Conversely, enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by selectively interacting with specific ligands (i.e., substrates).

Answer:

Law of conservation  of energy is one of the basic laws of the Physics.

Explanation:

According to the Law of conservation of energy, the total energy of an isolated system doesn't change, Energy may be transformed from one to another but the total energy of an isolated system remains constant.    There have different forms of energy like- kinetic energy, potential energy, chemical energy, thermal energy , electrical energy. the potential energy is converting into kinetic energy in the water falls. When kicking a football, energy is transferred from the body of the kicker to the ball.
