Question

many antibiotics kill bacteria because they hinder translation by prokaryotic ______ multiple choice ribosomes capsules cytoplasm nucleoids cytoskeleton

Explanation:

Translation in bacteria is the process of protein - synthesis using mRNA as a template. Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis. Antibiotics often target prokaryotic ribosomes to inhibit translation, thus killing bacteria. Capsules are protective outer - layers, cytoplasm is the jelly - like substance inside the cell, nucleoids are the regions containing DNA in prokaryotes, and cytoskeleton provides structural support. None of these other structures are directly involved in the translation process targeted by antibiotics.

Answer:

ribosomes
