The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about which antibiotics normal E. coli cells carry resistance against, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks about the natural resistance of normal E. coli cells to specific antibiotics. 2. **Identify the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Chloramphenicol - B) Ampicillin - C) Tetracycline - D) None of these 3. **Research Normal E. coli**: Normal E. coli (Escherichia coli) cells are typically not resistant to antibiotics unless they have acquired resistance through genetic modifications or mutations. 4. **Analyze Each Antibiotic**: - **Chloramphenicol**: Normal E. coli does not have inherent resistance. - **Ampicillin**: Normal E. coli does not have inherent resistance. - **Tetracycline**: Normal E. coli does not have inherent resistance. 5. **Conclusion**: Since normal E. coli does not possess natural resistance to any of the listed antibiotics, the correct answer is that they carry resistance against none of these antibiotics. 6. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the answer is option D) None of these.
