The antibiotic binds to the ribosome of the prokaryotic cell, so it inhibits the proteins translation, hence the cell dies. You have to consider that prokariotic ribosome it´s different to eukaryotic ribosome, so this antibiotic doesn´t affect our cells, only the target bacteria

∙ 14y agoMany antibiotics work by preventing or inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis.Tetracycline works by blocking the binding of transfer RNA to messenger RNA-ribosome complex thereby preventing new amino acids being added to the peptide chain.

Can you use tetracycline for kidney stones?
No. Tetracycline is for bacterial infections. See a doctor about the kidney stones.
Tetracycline is what kind of bacteria?
Tetracycline is not a type of bacteria, but rather a broad-spectrum polyketide antibiotic produced by the bacteria Actinobacteria Streptomyces, indicated for use against many bacterial infections.
Does a Bacterial cell have only a cell wall?
No, bacterial cell also have phospholipid bilayers.
Can you use tetracycline for human on goat?
No, you should not give human medications to animals. While tetracycline is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections in both humans and goats, the formulations are very different and the dosages are very different. If you suspect your goat has a bacterial infection, you should have a vet come out and examine it. Tetracycline is not very expensive anymore as it is a generic antibiotic, so the largest expense will be to pay for the farm call.
Is bacterial cell a endo spore?
yes a bacterial cell is an endo spore
Does a bacterial cell have a cell membrane?
Of course they are found in bacterial cells.Every living cell has a plasma membrane.
What does the bacterial cell reproduce that the human gene codes for?
the bacterial cell reproduces the bacterial chromosome that the human gene codes for.
What is the process in which bacterial cell takes in which DNA released by a different bacterial cell?
Transformation.
How is bacterial cell different from onion cell?
Bacterial cells are prokaryotic and the cells of an onion are eukaryotic.
How do the microbes such as bacteria die?
DNA replication was stoped due to nutrition depletion, finally leads to cell death. toxic subtances affect the normal functions of bacterial cell which leads to cell death
What kind of cell has no nucleus and no mitochondria?
That means that it is a Prokaryote, or a bacterial cell.
Does bacterial cell have centrioles?
No because bacterial cells are prokaryotic
