Technically viruses are not living as they do not contain any of the membrane bound organelles (mitochondrion) as well as ribosomes, which are present in cellular life forms; viruses contain nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA). All antibiotics invariably act by interfering with the prokaryotic 70S ribosomes during protein synthesis; but antibiotic has no effect on the eukayotic 80S ribosomes. So during viral infection, when person’s general immunity is low they are prone to infection by prokaryotic organisms (eg Staphylococcus aureus); a course of treatment with antibiotics kills the infecting bacterium, unless it happens to be resistant to that antibiotics – eg Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, (MRSA) a common hospital bug.

Which has higher air pressure—warm air or cold air? How do you know?
Masja [62]
The one with higher air pressure is Warm Air.  The reason why is because when you boil water, the water always makes the lid rise.  This is because Warm Air has more activity in its atoms and molecules, so it is moving around more, which in turn means that there is more pressure.  

Hope I helped.  :)

How much protein should Sarah add to her diet if she gets pregnant?Sarah's protein requirements during pregnancy would be higher
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Sarah should add 19 grams of protein to her diet if she gets pregnant.

Explanation:

Daily protein requirements = body weight in x conversion factor

Pregnant women= 1.1g/kg prepregnancy body weight

Sarah's prepregnancy weight= 132 pound

Sarah should add about 19 grams of protein to her diet to account for the higher protein requirements of pregnancy. That’s only about 1 cup of Greek yogurt. Pregnancy  might be the time to switch to these “twice the protein” products.
