Your friend Jim Crackcorn has developed a new antibiotic that damages the integrity of the cell wall by breaking down peptidoglycan. Jim tells you that he predicts that gram positive bacteria, gram negative bacteria and archaeal cells will be equally sensitive to this antibiotic. Do you agree with Jim’s prediction? If you agree, explain in your own words why you agree. If you disagree, explain in your own words what you would predict and why.
Scientific Method Story
Directions: Read the following story demonstrating the scientific process then answer the questions.
Many people in the small Midwestern town of Hootville are stricken with the disease“BUGGO". Many of those who become ill recover within 7-10 days
Through intensive study, “BUGGO” is now believed to be caused by a bacterium (single for bacteria) called "Gotcha." In their fight against “BUGGO”, a new drug X , has been shown to kill the GOTCHA bacteria which was grown in a test tube. Drug X was tested on dogs and found to cure those stricken with “BUGGO”.
Researchers decided to test the new drug on some of the people in Hootville. They thought that the drug would also kill “GOTCHA” in humans. They decided that if given drug X that the people would recover faster than those who didn’t receive it.
The researchers prepared 2 kinds of tablets that were identical in every way except that one group of tablets contained drug X and the other group did not. The…
