Penicillin is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by preventing the formation of the peptidoglycan layer of the bacterial cell wall. Penicillin does so by inhibiting the enzyme Transpeptidase, which is required for peptidoglycan layer formation. What type of inhibitor is Penicillin? Explain.

Members of the mycoplasma genus of bacteria do not have a cell wall for protection, existing with only a simple cell membrane made up of fatty acids and phospholipids. They cannot however, synthesize their own fatty acids. How is this possible? A. They use host materials  B. They use peptidoglycan from other bacteria  C. They use anabolism as a way to create their outer membrane  D. They use amino acids to build their membranes
