Scientist from different fields work together to continually modify the chemical composition of antibiotic medicines this is to keep up with adaptive abilities of the pathogen antibiotics are intended to treat. antibiotics inhibit the formation of membranes in certain prokaryotes which of the following would most likely be treated with antibiotics ?A. body cells

B. foreign pathogens

C. inherited factors

D. cells that carry mutations

Explain your answer

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Among the following, the most likely to be treated with antibiotics are
B. foreign pathogens
Foreign pathogens are prokaryotes which are susceptible to antibiotics. Body cells, mutated cells, and inherited factors are immune from antibiotics.
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

The correct answer would be a B. foreign pathogen.

Antibiotics refer to the group of drugs which inhibit the growth of pathogens such as bacteria.

They are mainly designed to treat bacterial infections. For other pathogens such as a virus, fungi et cetera different classes of drugs are used such as anti-viral (for viruses), anti-fungal (for fungal infection) et cetera.

The mechanism of action of antibiotics may include:

  • Inhibition of synthesis of cell wall
  • Inhibition of synthesis of proteins  
  • Inhibition of synthesis of nucleic acid
  • Cell membrane alterations
  • Inhibition of metabolite activity

Common example may include penicillin and derivatives.

Answer:

How can the condition be cured? What is the bacteria/pathogen responsible for the condition?

Explanation:

These are just a few possible questions off the top of my head that suggests that the parents are unaware of the cause of the condition being a genetic mutation which cannot be cured, but can only be alleviated by not triggering the symptoms of the condition.

Earth’s continents are constantly in motion because they sit on top of gigantic plates which float on Earth’s mantle. Energy from the Earth’s core creates convection currents in the molten layer, and the currents move the plates. Over extremely long periods of time, this movement creates new _______. a. biomes b. plates c. atmospheric layers d. elements

Answers

The correct answer is A. Biomes.

Earth’s continents are constantly in motion because they sit on top of gigantic plates which float on Earth’s mantle. Energy from the Earth’s core creates convection currents in the molten layer, and the currents move the plates. Over extremely long periods of time, this movement creates new biomes.

The continents of the Earth are constantly in motion . The reason for this motion is the position of the tectonic plates over the mantle of the Earth. The movement of these plates, causes the continents to move. Over the time, these movements becomes substantial and the drifting of the continents is visible. This leads to the formation of the new biomes. The flaura and fauna changes with these movements.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option A - Biomes'.
