Is Damage to nucleic acids part of antimicrobial agents affect cellular structures?
Detdette
It is one of the routes.
Bacterial cells are primitive cells (prokaryotic) that differ significantly from humans' (eukaryotic) cells. Antibiotics aim at structures or processes that differ from our own. Some antibiotics react directly with microbial DNA (i.e. metronidazole disrupts DNA's helical structure, thereby inhibiting bacterial nucleic acid synthesis and leading to bacterial cell death), some antibiotics act indirectly (quinolones bind to DNA gyrases, proteins that are required for the processing of DNA and RNA), and others aim at different parts of microbe body (bacterial cell wall - penicillins, cephalosporins, cell membrane - polymixins) or at different processes (bacterial protein synthesis - aminoglycosides, macrolides, and tetracyclines).

What is damage to the ozone?
ChloroFluoroCarbon's will damage ozone. Ozone will damage the breathing structures of both plants and animals (and people, of course).
Which earthquake waves do the most damage to surface structures and buildings?
Surface waves
What will damage in mitochondrial DNA have the most effect on?
Damage in mitochondrial DNA will have the most effect on cellular respiration. This is due to the fact that the surface area will be damaged.
Do p waves shake structures violently?
No, S waves are the ones that do a lot of damage.
How do earthquakes cause chaos?
They damage and destroy buildings and structures which land on people and trap them.
Will bacterial death occur if there is damage to the cell wall?
Actually the guy below is "off" The cell would die if there is damage to the cell wall but, Would also die if damage occured to plasma membrane, proteins, and nucleic acid . Remember some Eukaryotes do not have cell walls, so It depends on if you are talking about eukaryotes or prokaryotes as well. ACTUALLY, to edit the answer below, the answer to the question is D - all of the above. The plasma membrane is made of proteins and if damaged will damage the plasma membrane in turn causing the the cell to rupture (lysis) and die. Nucleic acids for the same reason stated below. so the correct answer is NOT C it is D! "Bacterial death will result from damage to which of the following structures?" a. plasma membrane b. proteins c. nucleic acids d. All of the above the correct answer is C. nucleic acids. heres a quote directly from the book..."The nucleic acids DNA and RNA are the carriers of the cell's genetic information. Damage to these nucleic acids by heat, radiation or chemicals is frequently lethal to the cell; the cell can no longer replicate, nor can it carry out normal metabolic functions such as the synthesis of enzymes." your welcome.
What is cellular damage?
Damage at the cellular level - such as damage to mitochondria or enzymes, damage to the DNA or damage to the cell membrane. If the damage is serious enough, this will lead to either apoptosis (programmed, controlled cell-death), or necrosis (spontaneous, unplanned death).

What is damage to the ozone?
ChloroFluoroCarbon's will damage ozone. Ozone will damage the breathing structures of both plants and animals (and people, of course).
Why do tornadoes cause damage?
Tornadoes cause damage largely due to their very powerful winds, which produce forces that are greater than structures or parts of structures can withstand. In a strong enough tornado, parts of destroyed structures and other objects turn into high-speed projectiles, which cause additional damage.
What was the short term damage for a tornado?
The short-term damage from a tornado includes structures with varying degrees of damage, and downed and damaged trees and power lines. The severity of damage can range from minor damage to roofs and siding to well-built houses and other structures being completely blown away.
What is beach protection?
It Can Reduce Storm Damage To Coastal Structures.
How do tornadoes effect structures?
Tornadoes can destroye structures and cause varying degrees of damage. Te extent of damage depends on the strength of the tornado and the type and quality of the structure. Damage can range from minor loss of roofing and siding, to the loss of the roof, to complete destruction. Some structures may be completely blown away.
How do hematomas damage the brain?
All three types of hematomas can damage the brain by putting pressure on vital brain structures.
What man made structures is most susceptible to damage by acid precipitation?
Structures made of limestone and marble are susceptible to damage by acid precipitation. Structures made of iron and copper materials are also susceptible.
What can excessive exposure to ultraviolet light do?
Damage to: cellular DNA, Connective tissue, and chromosomes.
How do you spell tendinosis?
That is the correct spelling of "tendonosis" which is not tendinitis but rather cellular damage to a tendon.
