Answer: Option B

Explanation: The first line of defense acts a barrier and does not allows the foreign materials to enter inside the body. It includes chemical and physical  barriers that are always ready to protect the body from infection.

Example: Skin and mucous membrane.

Skin is largest organ and it acts as a barrier between pathogens and human body. It acts a waterproof material and the pathogens cannot get inside through skin unless the skin is broken.

Mucous membranes also acts as first line of defense and breaks the cell wall of many bacteria entering through the openings of the body.

So, skin and mucous membrane are the first line of defense.

Describe the effects of the various antibiotic drugs used. Where they are equally effective at controlling bacteria growth. How
nasty-shy [4]
You need to know that the various antibiotic drugs are not all equally effective in controlling the bacteriagrowth. Take for example the Staphylococcus aureus.  Different antibiotic drugs can have different effects. The most effective antibiotic drug against that bacteria is Penicillin, because it controlled the growth of the bacteria the most. A second example is the Streptococcus penumoniae.  With that bacetria the antibiotic drug that was the most effective was the Erythromycin. A third example is Hemophilus influenza. With this one the Erythromycin antibiotic drug is also the most effective. Have in mind that the smaller the diameter correlates with the effectiveness of controlling the bacterial growth. Some of the bacteria growth was stopped by antibiotic drugs, and some weren’t.
