Is penicillin a bacteria?

Yes, penicillin prevents the formation of new bacterial cell wall. If a bacteria reproduces, new cell wall cannot be produced and the cell lyses and dies. However penicillin has no effect on a quiescent (non-reproducing) bacteria. Therefore penicillin is also called a bacteriostatic agent (prevents growth of bacteria), which means penicillin does stop bacteria from reproducing.


How does tinning food kill bacteria?

Tinning food involves sealing it in a can and then heating it to a high temperature to kill bacteria. The heat destroys the bacteria by denaturing proteins and damaging cell structures, preventing them from growing and spoiling the food. Additionally, the sealed can prevents new bacteria from entering and contaminating the food.

Which statement best explains why no mold is growing in the white area next to the bacterial colony?

The white area may not have mold growing because it lacks the necessary conditions for mold growth, such as moisture or nutrients. The bacterial colony may be producing compounds that inhibit mold growth in that area. Mold and bacteria may compete for resources, and the bacteria in the colony may be outcompeting any potential mold spores.

How does lactic acid keep food from spoiling?

The lactic acid is generally produced by members of the genus lactobacillus. These bacteria are generally harmless to humans. The acidic environment they create, however, harms other bacteria and prevents these potentially dangerous bacteria from growing. So, overall, the food that's being preserved will have predominantly only one type of bacteria in it, which is not harmful to humans.
