The detailed structure and chemistry of the
various systems used in the design and synthesis of molecularcomponents is beyond the scope of this text. However, we will provide
a general overview of a few molecular structures that are instrumentalin the design of mobile, functional molecules. With the introduction
of each molecular mechanical component, we will provide comparisonswith its macroscopic counterpart in order to clarify the functionality
of each system.
Bearings
Bearings are structures that function to reduce
energy loss to friction during various processes. Bearings are foundin almost every rotating part of your car and facilitate smooth
rotation of parts from the wheel up to the transmission. Researchershave investigated various systems to replicate this function on the
molecular level. Here we take a look at the molecular bearing designedby scientists working in Japan. A monolayer of tightly packed C60
molecules was sandwiched between two single sheets of graphite to forma molecular bearing. The structure resulted in an ultra-lubricated
system with zero frictional forces when the graphite sheets were movedalong the rotating C60 molecules(figure 3).
Axles
Axles function to transfer mechanical energy
to turn a specific object such as a wheel. An effective axle ischaracterized by two functions: 1) it must be able to rotate freely
and 2) must be in a fixed, linear position. The axle must be able torotate freely because its function is dependent on its ability to
transfer mechanical energy to rotate an attached structure. In thecase of an automobile, the axle functions to transfer energy generated
by the engine to rotate the wheels of the vehicle. An axle must be ina fixed, linear position because it must provide enough support to
withstand forces placed on it, such as the weight of a chassis. On themolecular scale, the two functions of an effective rotor are
encompassed in the structure of a triple bond, as opposed to single ordouble bonds (figure 4). A single bond is able to rotate freely, but
is not in a fixed linear position. On the other hand, double bonds arein a fixed position, but are unable to rotate.
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments

But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

define infection ,prevention and control

I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
