The part anti means opposed. Biotic is basically all the naturally occurring organisms. So an antibiotic would oppose an organism like a virus.

The word bio in the word antibiotic suggests that antibiotics kill living things. Viruses have genetic information, but they don't have cells. They don't fully meet the definition of being alive.

The spread of roots around a plant is usually greater than the depth of the roots.
valina [46]
The spread of roots around a plant is usually greater than the depth of the roots is a completely false statement. It totally depends on the type of plant in regards to the type of root it will have. Normally there are two kinds of roots and they are taproot and fibrous roots. In case of taproots the main root goes downwards and smaller roots branches out of it. In case of taproots, it is true that the spread of roots is smaller than the depth of the roots. In case of fibrous roots, the spread of roots is greater than that of the depth of the roots. A wig tree is an example of a plant having taproot. in the wig tree the root can go to a depth of around 120 meters.

What can you do to play an active role in cancer prevention?
melisa1 [442]

Answer: Although humans cannot prevent all cancers, a healthy diet and weight followed by adequate exercise, sleep, and stress reduction all play a part in cancer reduction.

Cancer occurs when cells multiply uncontrollably and are not "cleaned up" by the body. We are dependent on our bodies recognizing and destroying old cells and foreign substances like toxins. When our body's fail to do this, either through stress, poor diet or being sedentary, cancer could result.

Hope this helps.
