Question

1. Do you think diseases due to eukaryotic microorganisms are easier or harder to treat than those due to prokaryotic microbes? Explain your answer. include the references

Answer 1

Answer:

• Diseases caused by eukaryotic cell is more devastating than bacterial diseases.
• Because bacteria are prokaryotes and their structural features and metabolic characteristic is different than eukaryotes.
• It has been easy to find and develop antibacterial drugs with minimum side effects that inhibit protein synthesis, cell wall synthesis, protein synthesis, nucleic acid synthesis, or other enzyme-catalyzed reactions.
• These drugs have minimum effect on eukaryotic cells because of their ribosomes are structurally different from prokaryotic ribosomes.
• Such antibiotics are killed bacteria without harming our cells, tissues and organs.
• The drugs used to kill or inhibit the growth of these eukaryotic organisms without harm our cells is more difficult because eukaryotic cells are more similar to human cells and highly toxic to mammalian cells.
• Selective Toxicity means antimicrobial drugs that kill microbial cells but no effect on host cells.
• Selectivetoxicity is easier to obtain for bacteria than eukaryotic infection.
• Because bacteria are prokaryotes and very different from our own cells.
• As eukaryotic pathogens like fungi and parasites are more similar to human cells and difficult to develop drugs against these microbes.
