Bacteria and viruses are often lumped together into a general category of “bad things that can cause infection”. But these two types of infectious agents are very different, and the differences are important to your health. What Is a Cell? Bacteria are living single celled creatures. In contrast, viruses are not alive. So to clearly ...
There are many different classes of antibiotics each exerting a different type of inhibitory effect that specifically impact bacteria. Bacterial cells are prokaryotic; primitive cells that differ significantly from humans’ eukaryotic cells. Antibiotic cephalosporins work by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacteria cell wall. Each article in this series covers a specific class of antibiotic ...
There are many different classes of antibiotics, each exerting a different type of inhibitory effect that specifically impacts bacteria. Bacterial cells are prokaryotic; primitive cells that differ significantly from humans’ eukaryotic cells. Antibiotic macrolides work by inhibiting the bacterial cell’s protein synthesis. Antibiotic Class Article Series Each article in this series covers a specific class ...
Viruses are curious things in nature. They are so bizarre that some scientists doubt they even fit the qualifications of a living thing. However, they are so pervasive in nature and our everyday lives that they are still vastly important alive or not alive. Virus reproduction is one of the most interesting features of these ...
1. The scientist first introduced the term cell : Robert Hooke. 2. The largest cell of the world : Egg of Ostrich. 3. The smallest cell of the world : Mycoplasma gallisepticum (PPLO) 4. The largest cell of plant : a cell of the fibre of a bark of Ramie. 5. The longest cell of ...
There are many different classes of antibiotics each exerting a different type of inhibitory effect that specifically impacts bacteria. Bacterial cells are prokaryotic; primitive cells that differ significantly from humans’ eukaryotic cells. Antibiotic sulfa drugs work by inhibiting a metabolic pathway that is necessary for DNA synthesis. Each article in this series covers a specific ...
Eukaryotic cells are found in every domain with the exception of the Bacteria and Archea domain. Eukaryotic cells differ from prokaryotic cells in two major ways; size, and the presence of a membrane surrounding the nucleus, and other organelles. Because eukaryotic cells are so much larger than prokaryotic cells (roughly ten times larger) it becomes ...
There are many different classes of antibiotics each exerting a different type of inhibitory effect that specifically impacts bacteria. Bacterial cells are prokaryotic; primitive cells that differ significantly from humans’ eukaryotic cells. Quinolones exert their bacteriocidal effect by interfering with a bacterium’s ability to make DNA (replication). Many quinolones antibiotics belong to a subgroup called ...
The cell is one of the most rudimentary components of any living organism. Each part of the human body contains specific types of cells that help it to function properly. These specific types of cells working together form tissue, the tissue forms organs, the organs work together as systems, and the systems working as one ...
There are many different classes of antibiotics each exerting a different type of inhibitory effect that specifically impacts bacteria. Bacterial cells are prokaryotic; primitive cells that differ significantly from humans’ eukaryotic cells. Tetracyclines exert their effect by interfering with protein synthesis in bacterial cells. Each article in this series covers a specific class of antibiotic ...
