Answer 5

All right take a look at this.
There are different ways antibiotics can target bacterial cells.

This is an explanation of the β-lactam antibiotics (aka penicillins)
These bacteria have a β-lactam ring. It prevents the cross linking of NAM and NAG in peptidoglycan. Peptidoglycan is a major part of the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria. So when NAM (N-acetylglucosamine) and NAG (N-acetylmuramic acid) cannot be cross-linked, the cell wall cannot be completed.

The reason it does not affect human cells is because animal cells do not have a peptidoglycan layer.

I hope this is not too difficult :P

Answer 6

As you see in the picture there are more ways. Antibiotics also have ways to inhibit DNA replication, protein synthesis and the synthesis of essential metabolites.
