Lysozyme and the antibiotic penicillin have similar mechanisms of action in that they both cause damage to the bacterial. True or False

The correct answer is "cell wall".

Explanation:

Lysozyme and the antibiotic penicillin have similar mechanisms of action because both cause damage to the bacterial cell wall. Lysozyme binds to the peptidoglycan molecules of the cell wall and catalyzes the hydrolysis of the 1,4-beta-linkages of its subunits. Penicillin binds to the beta-lactam ring to DD-transpeptidase in bacteria that is reproducing, inhibiting the cell wall formation.

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
