Since in more than 25% of cases studied by scientists, prescriptions are useless for the infection stems of a virus cannot be treated with antibiotics. This overuse of antibiotics has a number of downsides which include types of drugs that kill more of the "good" bacteria found in our bodies leading to more side effects.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

how this helps

Explanation:

Stress responses help your body adjust to new situations. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated and ready to avoid danger. For example, if you have an important test coming up, a stress response might help your body work harder and stay awake longer.What is stress?

Stress is a normal human reaction that happens to everyone. In fact, the human body is designed to experience stress and react to it. When you experience changes or challenges (stressors), your body produces physical and mental responses. That’s stress.

Stress responses help your body adjust to new situations. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated and ready to avoid danger. For example, if you have an important test coming up, a stress response might help your body work harder and stay awake longer. But stress becomes a problem when stressors continue without relief or periods of relaxation.

They are different in the way of cells have nucleus'es (plural form of nucleus, I suppose) and other things inside it that do jobs, bricks don't have that.
