- Please help me with this question. The answer choices are in [ ] If bacteria are killed by an antibiotic, the antibiotic is ["Bactericidal" OR "Bacteriostatic"] and we would expect ["Growth" OR "No Growth"] on our TSA subculture plates If an antibiotic does not kill the bacteria, but rather the bacterial growth is inhibited, the antibiotic is ["Bactericidal" OR "Bacteriostatic"] . For these types of antibiotics, we would expect ["Growth" OR "No Growth"] on our TSA subculture plates in this latter type of antibiotic.arrow_forwardA.

- Help please. This question is specifically asking for the identification of the biomolecules that are attached to the sphingosine core, then we need to answer what bond causes those biomolecules to be connected to the sphingosine, what reaction created that bond (maybe addition or oxidation etc.), what were the starting materials and lastly what reagents or conditions are needed for the reaction to occur. Thank you!arrow_forwardAnabolism & Catabolism of Nitrogenous Bases. a. Differentiate the processes of purine nucleotide biosynthesis & pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis. What are the starting materials for each process? b. Differentiate the processes of purine nucleotide degradation &pyrimidine nucleotide degradation. What are the end products of each process? c. Explain how purine & pyrimidine biosynthesis is regulated to produce balanced levels ofall four nucleotides (ATP, GTP, UTP & CTP)?arrow_forwardI. Active site analysis. Below is a diagram of a putative active site for Monoamine oxidase. As we learned, the purpose of tertiary structure is to form a scaffold so you can orient just a few amino acids in the right orientation to promote binding and/or catalysis. The position where this occurs is the active site. The amino acid architecture of an active site is designed to bind substrates. Amino acid side chains are capable of hydrogen bonding, ionic and hydrophobic interactions. Fill in each amino acid that you think is suitable for interacting with the part of the substrate it is closest to.
