Question

This is from micro biology. Which box goes under which category

Most antibiotics work in one of two ways. They are either cell wall inhibitors or protein synthesis inhibitors. Classify the following
characteristics to describe each general type. Some answers may be used more than once.
Include penicillins and
other beta-lactam
Cell Wall Inhibitors
drugs
Block the production of
peptidoglycan during cell
division, preventing the
cell from dividing
successfully
Have no impact on
eukaryotic cells
Protein Synthesis Inhibitors
Cause the shape of the
ribosomal subunits to
change, resulting in the
cell's inabillity to make
proteins
Inhibit bacterial cell
division
Inhibit the growth of
bacteria
