Why antibiotics act on bacterial cytoplasmic membrane but not mammilian cytoplasmic membrane?

maybe because, the structure of cytoplasmic membrane of mammilian is different from the bacteria. It is may allowed by the presence of different antigen in its membrane.

Why is cytoplasmic membrane is important for bacterial energy production?
Because bacteria do not have organelles they would not have a mitochondrian which is eukaryotes use for energy production. These reactions occur in the cytoplasm and on the cytoplasmic membrane instead, making the cytoplasmic membrane integral in bacterial energy production.
Why is the Cytoplasmic membrane a poor target for antibacterial medication?
The cytoplasmic membrane is a poor target for antibacterial medication because of the difficulty in creating an antibiotic that will destroy the cytoplasmic membrane in a bacterium and not destroy the cytoplasmic membrane in a human cell.
The cytoplasmic structure in a bacterial cell is the a. cell wall b. nucleoid c. plasma membrane d. ribosomes?
b-nucleoid
Which agents can cause injury to the bacterial plasma membrane?
There are several types of antibiotics that cause damage to the plasma membrane of bacterial cells. These antibiotics injure the the plasma membrane and cause it to die (lysis of the cell). After the membrane has been damaged or destroyed, the bacteria's contents/nurtients escape and the poisons of the antibiotic are allowed to enter the cell and kill it. Antibiotics have selective toxicity so that they can target specific microbes without damaging the person taking the drug.
What separates the cell from the cytoplasm?
cytoplasmic membrane
What is the part of the cell that materials pass through?
The membrane
What divides in cytokinesis?
The cytoplasm, along with cytoplasmic constituents - which also includes the cytoplasmic membrane - and the duplicated Chromosomes.
Which antibiotic disrupts cytoplasmic membrane function?
amphoteicine b
What involves of a cell membrane in cytoplasmic division in the animal cell?
money
What is divided in Cytokinesis?
Division of cytoplasm is called cytokinesis
What is tonoplast?
The cytoplasmic membrane that surrounds a vacuole of a plant cell. Also called vacuolar membrane.
Does a bacterial cell have a cell membrane?
Of course they are found in bacterial cells.Every living cell has a plasma membrane.
