Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
A compound synthesized by bacteria or fungi that destroys or inhibits the growth of other microbes is an antibiotic. Therefore, option (b) is correct.
Option (b) is given as “antibiotic”.
Explanation of Solution
Justify reasons for the correct statement:
Antibiotics can be produced only by a living organism such as bacteria. Antibiotics can be generated either alone or by different groups of microorganisms such as bacteria, actinomycetes,and fungi. More than thirty antibiotics have been isolated from those groups. Microbes that can produce antibiotics are useful for the prevention and treatment of many diseases including bacterial and fungal disease. For example, penicillin and tetracycline.
Hence, option (b) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as “synthetic drug”.
Drugs that are synthesized in the laboratory by mimic the action of natural compounds by
Option (c) is given as “interferon”.
Interferon, a human-based compound that is a glycoprotein. It is produced by leukocytes and fibroblasts in response to many immune responses. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (d) is given as “competitive inhibitor”.
A form of enzyme inhibition that contains the binding of an inhibitor that preventsthe binding of the target molecule of the enzyme is termed as a competitive inhibitor. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a),(c), and(d) are incorrect.
Antibiotics eradicate the bacteria that are susceptible to departing from the resistant

- One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardIf a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardHow do i know which way the arrows go?arrow_forward

Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions. Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references. Think carefully about how best to organize and structure your answer. Aim for high information density: say a lot, but say it succinctly.
