Question

Which statement best describes how antibiotics affect cellular homeostasis?

a. Antibiotics decrease the rate of cellular respiration in animal cells by producing oxygen.

b. Antibiotics increase the rate of DNA replication in human cells by forming nucleotides.

c. Antibiotics interfere with the transport of intracellular and extracellular materials.

d. Antibiotics remove chloroplasts from plant cells to cause starvation.

Answer 1

its c

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is C) Antibiotics interfere with the transport of intracellular and extracellular materials.

Step-by-step explanation:

Antibiotics maintain homeostasis by increasing or decreasing the amount of a protein. For doing this, they might affect the promoter region of the protein which is to be varied or they might opt for any other method. Hence, option C is correct.

Other options like option A is false because antibiotics do not affect the rate of cellular respiration. Also, the decrease in cellular respiration will not be caused by increased oxygen.
