Given the following list of antibiotics and their targets, explain how each stops bacteria without harming human cells. base your analyses on the differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. considering the targets of these antibiotics, explain why antibiotics in general would not be useful for treating a viral infection.

antibiotic

target

penicillin

blocks cell wall synthesis

tetracycline

blocks protein synthesis by binding to the 30s unit of the ribosome

chloramphenicol

blocks protein synthesis by binding to the 50s unit of the ribosome

sulfonamides

inhibit folic acid synthesis

vancomycin

blocks cross-linking of the peptidoglycan in the cell wall

Antibiotics cannot be used for the treatment of viral infection because cellular architecture of both virus and bacteria are very much different with respect to each other.

Explanation:

Antibiotics target various physiological process of bacteria such as cell wall synthesis,assembly of ribosomal subunit,folic acid synthesis,cross linking of peptides to the peptidoglycan of the cell wall.

     But if we study the viral cell we will found that virus neither contain cell wall nor ribosomes and viral metabolites are very simple in comparison to that of bacteria.That"s why antibiotic cannot be used for the treatment of viral infection.

     Antibiotics wil unable to find any target in viral cell to exert its function.

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.

here is the answer

water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on earths surface. once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away.
