Jamarcus Garza · Answer 1

Answer: Option B, eukaryotic protein synthesis and eukaryotic cell wall synthesis

Explanation: Antibiotics are the drugs used against pathogens causing diseases in humans and animals. Since these drugs are used against bacterial cells, their mode of action is based on the inhibiting the prokaryotic cellular processes. Antibiotics don't act against eukaryotic cellular processes, otherwise humans or animals would be affected in a negative manner. That's why, eukaryotic cell wall synthesis or protein synthesis are not affected by antibiotics.
