Some antibiotics can harm the ribosomes in animal cells. Which of the following would you predict to be the most likely long-term effect of damage to ribosomes?

Substances would not be able to enter or leave the cell, and affected cells would eventually burst.

Protuens would not be modified after being synthesized, and would be unable to function properly.

Cells would die because they would not be able to create the proteins needed to carry out life functions.

Errors would be made during DNA replications, and cells would then be unable to grow and devide.

Errors would be made during DNA replications, and cells would then be unable to grow and decide. This would be a long term effect because everything is made of cells.
