Does the human body have more bacterial or human cells?
it has more human cells actually the human body has more bacterial cells. Although it may seem more likely that the human body would have more human cells than bacterial cells. -Vasillisa
Why ionophore antibiotics do not kill even your human cells but only bacterial ones?
Only microbes have ionophones, which are channels in their membranes. By blocking them using antibiotics, the cell will die as they can not bring ions in and out of their cells. Human cells don't have these and so are not affected by those antibiotics.
What is in plant cells but not found in bacterial cells?
Plant cells have organelles such as chloroplasts and a large central vacuole that are not found in bacterial cells. Plant cells also have a cell wall made of cellulose, while most bacterial cells have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan.
Which organelles found in plant and animal cells are also found in bacterial cells?
Ribosomes are organelles found in both plant and animal cells that are also present in bacterial cells. Additionally, all cells, including bacterial cells, contain a plasma membrane to regulate the passage of materials in and out of the cell.
What is the different of an bacterial cells from an animal and plants cells?
Bacterial cells are prokaryotic, meaning they do not have a distinct nucleus or membrane-bound organelles like animal and plant cells, which are eukaryotic. Bacterial cells also have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, while animal cells have no cell wall and plant cells have a cell wall made of cellulose. Additionally, bacterial cells typically have a singular, circular chromosome, whereas animal and plant cells have multiple linear chromosomes.
Do bacteriostatic agents kill bacterial cells?
No, bacteriostatic agents inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacterial cells but do not directly kill them. These agents usually work by targeting specific cellular processes or structures needed for bacterial growth.
How are plasmids removed from bacterial cells?
Well, sweetheart, plasmids can be removed from bacterial cells through a process called curing, where the bacteria are treated with certain chemicals or heat to encourage the loss of the plasmid. Alternatively, you can also use techniques like centrifugation or filtration to physically separate the plasmids from the bacterial cells. Just remember, plasmids may be small, but they sure can be a pain in the butt to get rid of!
What are the compounds that kill bacterial cells without harming the cells of humans?
They are called antibiotics (meaning against life) and generally interfere in only a few specific chemical reactions, those found in bacterial cells but not human cells.
What is the significance of differential centrifugation?
differential centrifugation is a common procedure in microbiology and cytology used to separate certain organelles from whole cells for further analysis of specific parts of the cells.
Most antibiotics kill invading bacteria while minimally harming the host by?
targeting structures found only in bacterial cells and not the host cells
Bacterial cells do not have a genetic material?
no, bacterial cells do not have genetic material
Do bacterial cells have a nuclues?
Bacterial cells are not eukaryotic cells, which means they do not have a nucleus. They do, however, have chromosome.
What type of chemical agent retards bacterial growth?
Antibiotics are chemical agents that retard bacterial growth by targeting specific components of bacterial cells, which can inhibit their growth or kill them. Examples include penicillin, tetracycline, and ciprofloxacin.
How does antibiotics help bacterial infections?
Antibiotics either directly kill bacteria cells or inhibit bacteria cells from dividing, thus allowing the body to eliminate the infection.
Blender used to break up cells before their centrifugation?
homogenizer.
Can reheating cooked chili that was left unrefrigerated for 4 hours kill bacteria?
Reheating it to 165°F will kill vegetative bacterial cells, but it does not mean that the chicken would be safe to eat. Toxins possibly produced by the bacteria might not be destroyed.
Does the human body have more bacterial or human cells?
it has more human cells actually the human body has more bacterial cells. Although it may seem more likely that the human body would have more human cells than bacterial cells. -Vasillisa
