Why is it ineffective to treat viral disease with antibiotics? Why is it ineffective to treat viral disease with antibiotics? Pa

thogenic RNA viruses have a high rate of mutation, producing new genetic varieties that are insensitive to antibiotic treatment. Due to excessive antibiotic use, most viruses have evolved to be resistant to antibiotics. Antibiotics inhibit enzymes specific to bacteria and have no effect on virally encoded enzymes.

Answer:

Antibiotics inhibit enzymes specific to bacteria and have no effect on virally encoded enzymes

Explanation:

Viruses can be inhibited by different approaches depending on the type of virus (viruses are classified into DNA or RNA viruses, single or double-stranded viruses, etc).

One of the most commonly used techniques to protect against viral infections is by vaccination

Answer:

Antibiotics inhibit enzymes specific to bacteria and have no effect on virally encoded enzymes

Explanation:

The specificity of the antibiotics to inhibits some  bacterial enzymes is one of the major reasons why antibiotic do not affect viruses.In addition  antibiotics are designed to  have a significant  destructive  effects on  the mechanisms of biochemical reactions in bacteria and its  physiology, e,g on the cells walls,( inhibiting the formation of peptydoglycans) on certain organelles e,g ribisomes (inhibiting protein synthesis) and on the DNA(disrupting replication). The virus physiology is different from bacteria, therefore the design of antibiotics will nor affect these same mechanisms in viruses, thus no specificity for the antibiotic to act on in virus

During the day, plants produce by splitting water molecules in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. At the same time
Black_prince [1.1K]

During the day, plants produce oxygen by splitting water molecules in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.  

Light-dependent reactions occur in thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and begin with the absorption of light energy. This energy (together with water and photosystems) is used for the production of ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH which are necessary for the next stage of photosynthesis. Oxygen is released.

At the same time, plants use cellular respiration to produce some of the carbon dioxide needed by the light-independent reactions to make sugars.  

Cellular respiration is a chemical reaction of plants where they use glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water and release energy.

During the night, plants produce carbon dioxide, but not oxygen because only cellular respiration takes place.

There is no sunlight at night, so only the cellular respiration occurs.

If an enzyme has a single optimal temperature, then an organism might have difficulty dealing with an environment with wide temp
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Having a repetitive enzyme system would allow more than one enzyme to catalyze a particular reaction. If one of the types of enzyme is not able to perform its function due to temperature or any other factor, then another kind of enzyme would be able to catalyze the reaction. Hence, having repetitive enzyme systems is very effective in carrying out the metabolic functions of the body even when conditions are not favourable.
