Protein synthesis occurs in all living cells. Why, then, are some antimicrobial drugs that target protein synthesis selectively toxic to bacteria?
Group of answer choices

The protein synthesis in human cells will only occur inside the nucleus.

Protein synthesis in bacteria is completed by ribosomes, while protein synthesis in humans is completed by polymerase enzymes.

The ribosomes found in human cells and those found in bacterial cells have different structures.

The protein synthesis in human cells occurs less frequently than that in bacterial cells.

Answer:

Some antimicrobial drugs that target protein synthesis selectively toxic to bacteria because the ribosomes found in the human cells and the ribosomes found in bacterial cells have different structures.

Explanation:

The structure of the ribosome in a prokaryote is different than the ribosomes in eukaryotes. Ribosomes are the complex molecules and help in the synthesis of proteins in the cytosol of the cell.

In prokaryotes like bacteria, the ribosome is made up of two subunits making 70S ribosomes with subunits of 50S and 30S while Eukaryotic ribosomes made up of 80S with two subunits namely 60S and 40S. Here S indicates the unit of sedimentation.
