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.

What does a S-shaped curve demonstrate for population growth?
11111nata11111 [884]

A design of growth in which (occurs only in a different situation), the population frequency of an organism rises gradually originally, in a good acceleration time, later progresses swiftly nearing an exponential growth pace just like the J-shaped curve, however, it later declines (meaning rejects) in a bad acceleration time till at zero growth rate the population maintains. For example, yeast is a tiny fungus, so tiny, a microscope is required to view it, furthermore, it is used to produce bread and alcoholic drinks, displays the traditional S-shaped curve if raised in a test tube. Its maturity levels off as the population deplete the nutrients that are essential for its growth.
