What type of cells do antibiotics work on?

Prokaryotic cells

Explanation:

The reason antibiotics are so effective is because they have properties that selectively attack bacteria cells while leaving human cells unscathed.

Bacteria cells are prokaryotic which means that they have cells walls. Human cells on the other hand are Eukaryotic which do not usually have cell walls.

Antibiotics majorly work by attacking the cell walls of bacteria thus making it weak and prone to bursting or easier to destroy by the body's immune system while leaving human cells which do not have the cell walls.

Other antibiotics work in different ways but generally do so by attacking prokaryotic characteristics.
