Answer:

With respect to antimicrobial control agents is false the statement that states that a true antimicrobial control agent is equally effective against both bacteria and viruses.

Explanation:

Antimicrobial agents are used to treat infections caused by biological agents, such as bacteria, fungi, parasites, or viruses.

These antimicrobial agents are generically called antibiotics, and have a specific mechanism of action, which is different for each type of pathogenic microbe, so there are antibacterials and antivirals.

  • <em><u>Antibacterial drugs</u></em><em> -designated as antibiotics- can act on the cell wall or membrane, metabolic enzymes or the genetic material of bacteria.</em>
  • <em><u>Antivirals drugs</u></em><em> act by inhibiting the replication mechanisms by which they infect the cell, as well as the destruction of the viral capsid.</em>

Currently there are no drugs that act as antibiotics to kill bacteria and viruses at the same time.

        the first step in nitrogen cycle is formation of nitrates  it is done by following ways.1.  NITROGEN FIXATION:   conversion of nitrogen into nitrates is called nitrogen fixation. it is done by three ways which include atmospheric nitrogen fixation(done by thunderstorms and lightning),biological nitrogen fixation(done by nitrogen fixing bacteria),industrial nitrogen fixation(done in industries). 2.AMMONIFICATION AND NITRIFICATION: ammonification is the breakdown of proteins and nitrogeneous wastes and nitrification is conversion of ammonia into nitrates and nitrites this procces is done by bacteria. the second step is assimilation in which the nitrates formed in the above procces are used by plants and in the third procces which is denitrification in which the nitrates are again converted into atmospheric nitrogen.
