Question

Which of the following bacterial cells would best be able to survive an attack by an antibiotic? (2 points)

A bacterial cell that used its toxins to alter its DNA and resist the antibiotic
A bacterial cell that had a cell membrane made of ester-linked fatty acids
A bacterial cell that lacked receptors on its surface for that antibiotic
A bacterial cell that was going through binary fission when the antibiotic appeared

Answer 1

A bacterial cell that lacked receptors on its surface for that antibiotic

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer above is wrong.

It's "A bacterial cell that lacked receptors on its surface for that antibiotic"

Answer 2

A bacterial cell that used its toxins to alter its DNA and resist the antibiotics is most likely going to be able to survive an attack by an antibiotic. If a cell lacks receptors or is going through binary fission, it would be easily attacked.
