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 />

all plants give out oxygen during day and carbon dioxide during 9 to you agree with this statement give reason​
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Yes, I agree with the given statement.

Explanation:

Plants undergo the process of photosynthesis for the production of their food. In this process, they require the presence of sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, minerals, and chlorophyll. The process of photosynthesis is possible only during the day because sunlight is one of the major components. Carbon dioxide is taken in by the plant through the stomata from the environment. The oxygen is formed as a product of the process and is released in the environment. This process becomes impossible during the night because of the absence of sunlight. The entire process sums up to that the plants give out oxygen during the day and give out carbon dioxide during the night.

4. What was the “basic idea” about matter that Leucippus and Democritus proposed?
topjm [15]
Democritus is a Greek theorist that believes that atom is the smallest part of the substance. Atom, as he defined, is an indivisible entity. Leuccipus was Democritus' teacher who also believed on that notion. All matter are made up of atoms. If atoms are intact, the property of the substance is firm and solid while if the atoms are much apart, it would be described as a gas. Aristotle had a different belief of matter. He believed that the composing entities of matter are the four elements. However, this notion was rejected and proven through scientific inquiries about atoms and subatomic particles
