About This Document

This report is based on "antibiotic resistance theory and methods". We will discuss here Glycogen and cellulose are made up of glucose monomers with alpha configuration, whereas cellulose is made up of glucose monomers with beta configuration. Due to the difference in the structure, the human amylase enzyme is unable to break the cellulose as humans lack beta-amylase whereas, animals have beta-amylase therefore can consume cellulose. We will discuss here if there are no fluid-mosaic models and phospholipids and only amino acids are available for the formation of the cell membrane, a nonstandard amino acid can be used in which, the R-group will generally have a long fatty acid chain.

Antibiotic Resistance Theory - Assignment_1
1BIOLOGY Answer 1The common ancestor of modern superbugs was first discovered in the gut of landanimalsAntibiotic resistance evolves bacteria through natural selection and mutation inspecific gene; leads the bacteria resist the antibiotic related action.As the generation time of bacteria is faster, the rate of molecular evolution ofbacteria is also higher. Answer 2Glycogen and cellulose are made up of glucose monomers with alphaconfiguration, whereas cellulose is made up of glucose monomers with betaconfiguration. In Glycogen, two glucose monomers are linked together through alpha-1,4-glycosidic bond, whereas in cellulose, these monomers are linked through beta-1,4-glycosidic linkage. Due to the difference in the structure the human amylase enzyme is unable tobreak the cellulose as humans lack beta amylase whereas, animals have betaamylase therefore can consume cellulose. Answer 3During polymer formation, two or more glucose molecules are linked throughglycosidic linkages, these glycosidic bonds can be of alpha or beta linkage in

2BIOLOGY which, one glucose molecules OH-group is linked to another glucoses carboxylgroup. The prime difference is in the stereotype of glucose molecule.Peptide linkage is the bond in which, one amino group of one amino acid linkedto another amino acids carboxyl group. Both these bonds are susceptible to dehydration, as OH molecule plays animportant role in the formation of these linkages. Answer 4Triglycerides contain three fatty acids head groups attached to the glycerolbackbone, whereas the phospholipids have two fatty acids as the head groups anda phosphate group attached to the head of the fatty acid tails. As the phospholipids contain charged molecule at the head, it allows the lipidinside to properly mix with water and fat, therefore made the cell membranestructure, (containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic heads both). Answer 5if there are no fluid-mosaic model and phospholipids and only amino acids areavailable for the formation of cell membrane, a nonstandard amino acid can beused in which, the R-group will generally have a long fatty acid chain.In this the amino and carboxyl group will determine the hydrophilic group of cellmembrane and the long fatty acid will determine the hydrophobic end of themembrane.
