The targets for anti-fungal drugs are much more limited than antibiotics or anti-viral medications. Why?

Biology
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:The reason for this is because fungi and their host are eukaryotic and in treatment of fungal infections drug used can also affect their host.

Explanation:

Antifungal drugs are drugs used in the treatment of fungal infections and so are antibiotics and antiviral drugs used to treat bacterial infections and viral infections respectively.

Fungi and their host are both eukaryotic and this make them closely related. They attack by colonizing and destroying the tissues of the animal host. When treating infections caused by fungi, the compounds used to kill fungi also harm the animal host because of the eukaryotic property they both possessed, this therefore set limitations to antifungal drugs. Unlike fungi, bacteria attack prokaryotic cell and also bacterial infections are systematic not superficial or topical like fungal infections.

What happens to urchins if the oxygen percent concentration drops too low for an extended period of time?
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Since sea urchins are picky, they are used as indicator organisms in public aquariums to determine if the system is functioning properly. This is because they are very "picky" about water quality. If the water is contaminated, the sea urchins will be the first to show signs of stress, spines laying down or falling off. Do use an aquarium filter and do clean up the day after feeding. Any metal exposed to the seawater will corrode and poison the tank. A dying sea urchin will often spawn out and rot out, causing the others in the tank to spawn and die as welll.

To understand the chemical basis of inheritance, we must understand the molecular structure of DNA.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

C) reductionism

Explanation:

The approach of reductionism is applied to decipher the basic concepts that rule some complex life processes. In this approach, the complex life processes can be interpreted by explaining the physical and chemical structure of involved components and their interactions. DNA molecules store genetic information. Inheritance means the transfer of genetic traits from one generation to the next. Therefore, the chemical structure of DNA is the application of reductionism to understand the chemical basis of inheritance.
