Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics can work by either killing bacterial cells or by preventing the
spread of bacteria. Antibiotics can kill bacteria by inhibiting bacterial cells from completely forming a cell wall. Antibiotics that keep bacteria from spreading can do so by preventing them from performing binary fission. Using the information from the table, select TWO reasons why these types of antibiotics would not work to treat viruses. A. Viruses are smaller than bacteria.
B. Viruses do not have DNA like bacteria do.
C. Viruses reproduce differently than bacteria.
D. Viruses do not have cell walls like bacteria do.
E. Viruses do not have a nucleus like bacteria do.
The medium would be functionally classified as a growth medium. It is because a growth medium is a media that is being use to observe the growth of bacteria such as having to observe whether it would be inhibited or whether it will grow in the media.
