Answer 1

Following is the - complete Answer -&- Explanation: for the given Question: in ...typed format...

$\Rightarrow$Answer:

Yes, bitter peptides; can inhibit bacteria, by the process, explained below.

$\Rightarrow$Explanation:

Actually, bitter peptides, don't directly inhibit bacteria, but indirectly they do affect bacterial growth. Following are the steps: by which: bitter peptides: do in effect, inhibit bacterial growth.

1. Step - 1: Bitter peptides, actually activate the bitter receptors, in humans. We can for example consider one of the bitter receptors, e.g. TAS2Rs.

Now, thus produced: bitter receptors: can play the following role in humans,as desired.

2. Step - 2: The bitter receptos, hence produced in humans, by bitter peptides: can thereby produce: antimicrobial peptides: which are proteins: which can kill bacteria, and: viruses, in humans.

$\Rightarrow$Thus, we will have to say: bitter peptides: can kill and inhibit: bacteria & viruses.
