**Question:**
An antiprotozoal drug that functioned by interfering with ribosome function in eukaryotes would be safe to use in humans because it would not harm human cells.

- [ ] True
- [ ] False

**Image Description:**
The image shows a multiple-choice question displayed on the screen of a MacBook Air. The text of the question discusses the safety of an antiprotozoal drug that interferes with ribosomal function in eukaryotes, questioning if it would be safe in humans due to not harming human cells. Two options are provided for the answer: "True" and "False".

**Explanation:**
This question aims to test the understanding of the function and safety of drugs targeting ribosomes in eukaryotic cells. It challenges the student to apply knowledge about cellular biology, particularly the similarities and differences between protozoal and human cell ribosomes, and to reason whether interfering with the ribosomal functions in such organisms could also affect human ribosomes.
