Medical researchers seek to develop drugs that can kill or restrict the growth of human pathogens yet have few harmful effects on patients. these drugs often work by disrupting the metabolism of the pathogen or by targeting its structural features.
draw and label a phylogenetic tree that includes an ancestral prokaryote and the following groups of organisms: excavata, the sar clade, archaeplastida, unikonta, and, within unikonta, amoebozoans, animals, choanoflagellates, fungi, and nucleariids. based on this tree, hypothesize whether it would be most difficult to develop drugs to combat human pathogens that are prokaryotes, protists, animals, or fungi. (you do not need to consider the evolution of drug resistance by the pathogen.)
