How does penicillin kill bacteria? Penicillin augments the body's natural ability to enzymatically degrade bacterial peptidoglycan, causing the cells to lyse Penicillin targets a cross-linking reaction in cell wall manufacture. By blocking the enzyme responsible, penicillin stops the bacteria from producing new peptidoglycan. Penicillin targets muramic acid in the cell wall. By damaging a key component of the cross-linking reaction, the cell can't build a strong peptidoglycan mesh and quickly breaks apart. Penicillin damages the lipid membrane of bacterial cells by enzymatically removing peptidoglycan from the membrane's outer surface. The weakened cells quickly lyse.

Benito is doing research on the effects of florida's elevation on its climate. his notes include the following: 1. the average elevation of florida is 30 m above sea level. 2. the highest point in florida is britton hill, which is 105 m above sea level. 3. the change in temperature from 0 m to 1,000 m is 7 °c. what can benito conclude about the effects of florida's elevation on its climate? a.) florida typically experiences cold temperatures and temperature changes within a narrow range. b.) florida typically experiences cold temperatures and temperature changes within a broad range. c.) florida typically experiences warm temperatures and temperature changes within a narrow range. d.) florida typically experiences warm temperatures and temperature changes within a broad range.
