They are termed broad-spectrum antibiotics.

<h3>What are antibiotics?</h3>

Antibiotics are drugs that have the capacity to either inhibit the growth of or kill bacteria and some other microorganisms capable of causing diseases.

Antibiotics are of 2 types:

  1. Narrow spectrum antibiotics
  2. Broad spectrum antibiotics

Narrow spectrum antibiotics are effective against a very narrow range of bacteria. They are very specific in their targets.

Broad spectrum antibiotics, on the other hand, are effective against a broad range of bacteria. They can be referred to as multipurpose antibiotics. They do not only eliminate target pathogenic bacteria.

Use of moist heat can control microbial growth in many circumstances, but heat-sensitive items and those susceptible to moisture
sattari [20]
<h2>Answer is option "b"</h2>

Explanation:

  • Non-ionizing radiation is radiation that has a lower frequency, or longer wavelength, in the EMR spectrum. These frequencies range from that of power lines, radios, and cell phones, up to visible light. Non-ionizing radiation is not powerful enough to break the chemical bonds in molecules. In general, it is not harmful to human health as radiation per se, but could be harmful in terms of the transfer of heat energy. An example of an emitter of non-ionizing radiation is a microwave oven.
  • Non-ionizing radiation is less harmful because the rays carry much less energy. Radio waves, light, and even heat are examples of non-ionizing radiation. For the most part, these kinds of radiation do not cause any damage. However, ultraviolet light is a kind of non-ionizing radiation that can be harmful - it can cause mutations in DNA
  • Non-ionizing radiation is limited to the lower energy range electromagnetic radiation, which is more commonly known as light. However, the light we can see with our eyes, visible light, is only a small section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum as seen here
  • Hence the right answer is option "b"

Drupady [299]

As a control for the sasquatch experiment, a fake deer is placed in the forest. The role of this control in experiment is to provide a basis of comparison to the experimental group.

Scientists often analyze hypotheses developed by them by means of controlled experiments. A controlled experiment is a scientific test performed under controlled conditions, denoting that only one or a few variables are altered at a time whereas, all the remaining variables are kept constant.

Controls are utilized in an experiment to reduce the effects of variables besides the one being tested. An experimental group is also sometimes referred to as a treatment group, which receives a treatment in an experiment.
