Why don't antibiotic work on viruses?

Biology
1 answer:
Aleksandr [31]3 years ago
8 0
Antibiotics are meant to kill living things (bacteria). Viruses, on the other hand, we are not sure if they would classify as living. Viruses change the meaning of "life" if we consider them alive. They can <em>only </em>reproduce within another cell by taking over that cell. An antibiotic would have to be able to kill human cells to kill a virus, and that would not be a good medicine to take. Viruses invade a host cell and incorporate the virus DNA into the host cell's DNA, which would cause the host cell to create more viruses to invade other cells. <span />

Which valves produce the second heart sound when they snap shut?
Taya2010 [7]
Answer: D) Pulmonary and aortic valves.

Explanation
There are two main heartbeats from a healthy heart.

The first beat is called the S1 or the lub, and it occurs when the atrioventricular valves (comprising the mitral and tricuspid valves) close.

The second beat is called the S2 or the dub, and it occurs when the semilunar valves (comprising the aortic and pulmonary valves) close.

Listening for heart beats is an essential part of cardiac auscultation.

Some helpful tips:

The nucleus is always going to be the big, spherical shape.

The ER is always going to be a weird, folded looking structure attached to the nucleus (rough = has ribosomes on it which are usually represented by little dots, smooth = has no ribosomes on it aka no dots)

The GA looks like the ER but it is not going to be attached to the nucleus like the ER is.

The mitochondria is always going to be pill-shaped and have weird folds inside of it.
