1. Imagine that you have done a Gram stain and determined what antibiotic to use to kill the bacterium bacilli. If you expose the bacterium to the antibiotic, how will the antibiotic kill it?
2. If you expose amoebas to the antibiotic would you expect it to kill the protozoan? Why or why not? (Hint: If you take an antibiotic, does it kill your body cells?)
Please help! You'll get 10 points! :)
