RESPOND THOUGHTFULLY TO THIS DISCUSSION POST The Question:

How would the use of bacteriocidal, bacteriostatic or bacteriolytic antimicrobial agents differ in their resulting cell counts (total and viable). How would the effects differ regarding the growth curve of the cells? Use examples to support your answer.

The Person's

Bacteriocidal kills the microbial cell. The total number stays the same and the viable cell count decreases over time. An example would be cephalosporins

Bacteriostatic stops the growth of other competing microbial species. The total and viable cell count have a phase where they both stay the same at the same rate. Example Clindamycin

Bacteriolytic lyse the bacteria which decreases the total and viable cell count. Example Penicillin

1. amino acid refers to the fundamental building block of proteins, comprising of an amino group and a carboxyl group.

2. catalyst refers to any substance, which increases the rate of chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction.

3. a complex molecule containing he genetic code is dna or deoxyribonucleic acid.

4. an enzyme refers to a molecule of protein, which is unique in accelerating up a particular chemical reaction in the biological systems.

5. nucleic acid refers to an sequence of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogenous bases, for example, dna and rna.

6. a protein refers to a large, composite organic molecule comprising of a huge number of amino acids associated together with the of peptide bonds.

7. rna refers to a nucleic acid that takes part in the production of proteins.

8. substrate refers to a compound, which takes part in a chemical reaction, and is chemically modified by the reaction.

ans.

in united states (us), the first leading cause of death for both women and men is heart diseases that leads to more than half of the deaths. heart diseases develop due to narrow arteries, buildup of plaque in blood capillaries that arises difficulties in blood flow.

the second leading cause of deaths in us is cancer that affects individuals of all ages. it develops due to uncontrolled growth and spread of tumor cells, which results in death if the not controlled or treated.

the third leading cause of deaths in us is copd or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. it includes difficulty in breathing, chest infections, and persistent cough. smocking is a leading cause of copd and around 80% of copd deaths occur due to smoking.

thus, the correct answer is 'option). cancer, copd, and heart disease.'
