Question
Chapter 24, Problem 5RAT
To determine
The correct option for the statement “What is the main difference between bacteria and humans that gives sulfa drugs their antibacterial properties?”
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 5RAT
The correct option for the statement “What is the main difference between bacteria and humans that gives sulfa drugs their antibacterial properties?” is option (d)
Explanation of Solution
The main difference on behalf of which sulfa drugs exhibit their antibacterial properties is that bacteria cells can prepare folic acid by themselves and do not absorbs folic acids. But the humans obtain folic acid from the outside sources. Hence sulfa drugs have no ill effect over humans but exhibit antibacterial properties as sulfa drugs interfere with folic acid preparation of bacteria.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement “What is the main difference between bacteria and humans that gives sulfa drugs their antibacterial properties?” is option (d)
