Methicillin inhibits cell wall production. Why does this make it an effective antibiotic?

a. The cell wall of human cells is not sensitive to methicillin b. Human cells have a plasma membrane in addition to the cell wall that allows them to survive in the presence of methicillin c. Human cells do not have cell walls d. All humans have a gene giving methicillin resistance e. Human cells and bacterial cells are completely different, so methicillin does not affect human cells

There was a mass extinction of plants and animals at the end of the Permian period. Which of the following would be a reasonable prediction for the fungal fossil record?

A. There should be a massive increase in saprophytic fossils during the extinction, and then a massive decline shortly after the extinction was complete. B. There should be a slow increase in all fungal fossils during the time that plant and animal species declined, with their numbers staying relatively high afterward since there was little competition from other species. C. There should be a massive decrease in all fungal fossilsat the same time that plant and animal species started to decline, and the number of these fossils should remain low throughout the extinction period D. There should be a massive increase in mycorrhizal fossils during the extinction and afterward.
