Answer:

The beneficial role of antibiotics in the human body is given because they produce rupture the cell wall or prevent protein synthesis in bacteria.

The mechanisms of action of antibiotics aim to break the bacterial protection or interfere with their vital functions to make them unviable:

  1. Destruction of the bacterial wall or membrane.
  2. Interference with protein synthesis.
  3. Inhibition of the synthesis of nucleic acids.

In general, the effects of antibiotics on bacteria are to rupture the cell wall or prevent protein synthesis. Through these mechanisms, antibiotics eliminate and prevent the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria, thus eliminating the infections they produce.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>     a. Breaking down damaging toxins created by bacteria is an anti-toxin function.</em>

<em>     b. Antibiotics do not increase the number of white blood cells in the blood. </em>

<em>     d. Reduction of the effects of fever, swelling, and inflammation in the body is a function of antipyretics and anti-inflammatories.</em>
