<u>Antibiotics are used to kill bacteria:</u>

Antibiotic is a naturally produced substance that is used to kill bacteria. The first antibiotic was penicillin produced from fungus. The word antibiotic means against life which means it is against the life of pathogenic bacteria.

In the case of the living organism that is treated antibiotic is ‘pro life’. Antimicrobials are used to kill pathogenic microbes like fungus, bacteria, virus etc. Sometimes the microbes become resistant to the antimicrobials and they are said to develop is antimicrobial resistance.

When you look at a waxing crescent moon, you see a thin fraction of the moon's illuminated side and a larger fraction of the moon's night side, which is submerged in the moon's own shadow. Earthshine on a waxing crescent moon

The Decline The Gibbous phase occurs when the illuminated portion of the Moon decreases from 99.9 percent to 50.1 percent. It begins shortly after the Full Moon and continues until the Third Quarter Moon. Waning refers to the fact that it is shrinking and becoming smaller, whereas gibbous refers to the oval-to-round shape.

Hope this helps you!
