Answer #1

Answer : The correct option is B (The protein component of the bacterial ribosomes is different from human ribosomes)

Explanation : Most the antibiotics used against bacterial systems are not effective against the eukaryotic cells due to the differences in the structure and composition of the ribosomes. For example, Chloramphenicol acts by binding to 23S rRNA of the 50S ribosomal subunit of the bacterial ribosomes which is absent in eukaryotic systems.

    Lab #14 Protein Synthesis Introduction Proteins are vital for the survival of an organism. Proteins make enzymes and hormones which control reactions that must take place in the cell to survive.Proteins are made of basic units called amino acids. There are a total of 20 amino acids. Different proteins have different number and/or combination of amino acids. The kind of amino acid that is used when producing the protein depends on the 3-base code (codon) read from the RNA molecule...

    3. Nitrogen Fixation is a process by which some bacteria can convert N2 into ammonia. This process is very important in making the element nitrogen, a component of amino acids and nucleotides, available to ecosystems. Even though N2 makes up 80% of the atmosphere, nitrogen is the limiting nutrient in many ecosystems. Because nitrogen fixation is so energetically expensive, bacteria will only synthesize the proteins needed for this process if there is no available source of already fixed nitrogen, such...
