Option C) Typhoid can be cured using antibiotics.
- Bacteria are prokaryotes that belong to Monera. They have a cell wall and a cell membrane.
- The cell wall is responsible for protection against extreme temperatures, salinity, pH, etc. This is why bacteria can exist in extreme temperatures and are called extremophiles.
- The main component of the cell wall of bacteria is peptidoglycan.
- To kill the bacteria we can stop the synthesis of peptidoglycan for the cell wall.
- Antibiotics stop the synthesis of the peptidoglycan and expose the bacteria to the environment.
- Typhoid is a bacterial disease caused by the agent Salmonella typhi.
- Antibiotics can kill the bacteria-causing agent (S. typhi) and cure typhoid.
