Answer:
AZT is a thymidine analog
Explanation:
Azidothymidine (AZT) is an antiviral drug used for the treatment of the Human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV/AIDS) by preventing the transmission of HIV from infected cells. AZT is capable of suppressing the activity of the enzyme reverse transcriptase of the retroviral HIV genome, which enables it to copy RNA into DNA. In infected cells, this double-stranded DNA is integrated into the host genome which is then instructed to produce identical HIV copies. AZT is a thymidine analog that is incorporated into DNA and thus interferes with DNA synthesis, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation.
They will actually explode or burst
So What happens is the pure water outside has a high water potential while the cytoplasm inside the animal cell is a low water potential, water will diffuse down a water potential gradient through the semi-permeable membrane of the animal cell and cause the cell to swell (inflate like a fully-blown balloon), the result is that the delicate, elastic cell membrane<span> can't tolerate the internal pressure coming from the cytoplasm so it tears causing the cell to burst.</span><span>

Some signs of a chemical change are a change in color and the formation of bubbles. The five conditions of chemical change: color chage, formation of a precipitate, formation of a gas, odor change, temperature change.
<span>If it loses that 1 electron (0 electrons, 1 proton, 1 neutron) it become an ion that is positively charge because it has more protons than electrons. [Ignore the neutrons] </span>
<span>If it gains an electron (2 electrons, 1 proton, 1 neutron) it becomes an ion that is negatively charge because it has more electrons than protons </span>
<span>A molecule - when 2 or more "different" elements combine or when 2 or more of the "same" elements combine </span>
<span>1 proton 1 electron <----- that is considered to be neutral </span>
<span>3 protons, 3 electrons <----- neutral </span>
<span>5 protons 5 electrons <----- neutral </span>
<span>6 protons, 5 electrons <-- positive ion [more protons than electrons] </span>
<span>5 protons, 8 electrons <--- negative ion [more electrons than protons] </span>
