Explain the cellular functions that occur when antibiotics attack a bacteria cell.
a. antibiotics target the cell wall, cell membrane, and the processes of protein and nucleic acids production in bacteria to rupture the cell.
b. antibiotics create dormant resistant endospores to preserve the genetic material and rupture the cell.
c. antibiotics target the cell wall and form a bridge-like connection to form conjugation.
d. antibiotics use binary fission to grow twice its size, replications its DNA, and split into two cells.

Answered by maham237 @



That would be A.

Most antibiotics that are used for gram positive bacteria target the peptidoglycan cell wall, but the ones for gram negative bacteria are more advanced and specific and target the cell membrane and alter the cell’s function(processes of proteins and dna/gene expression).
