Which statement explains why antibiotics do not break down cell walls in plants?

Plant cells are less complex than bacterial cells, and their cell walls are made of enzymes which prevent the antibiotic from breaking down the plant cell walls.
Plant cells are prokaryotic, and their cell walls are made of lipids which prevent the antibiotics from breaking down the plant cell walls.
O Plant cells are simple cells, and their cell walls are made of carbohydrates which prevent the antibiotics from breaking down the plant cell walls.
O Plant cells are eukaryotic, and their cell walls are made of different proteins which prevent the antibiotics from breaking down the plant cell walls.

Answer:

The correct option is;

Plant cells are simple cells, and their cell walls are made of carbohydrates which prevent the antibiotics from breaking down the plant cell walls

Step-by-step explanation:

Each type of organism possesses a different form of cell wall, therefore, an antibiotics, such as penicillin does have an impact on the cells of other organism, such as plant that have a cellulose cell wall which is a form of carbohydrate, while penicillin is effective in the disruption of the production of peptidoglycan molecules which strengthens a bacteria cell and protects the bacteria's cytoplasm from leaking.
