Answer:

According to cell theory, all organism arise from the pre existing cell. Cell acts as the structural and functional unit of the living organism. Viruses may be defined as the organism that contain DNA and RNA as their genetic material. Viruses are smaller than bacteria and can affect the different forms of life.

Viruses are non-living as well as acellular organism because they cannot perform the metabolic process that are performed by the living organism. They acts as non - living organism as they do not reproduce, show growth and metabolism outside the host environment. They only shows growth and reproduction once they enter inside the host organism.

Explain the difference between bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics.
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

The bacteriostatic antibiotics can be defined as those antibiotics, which prevents the growth of bacteria. These keeps the growth of bacteria in the stationary phase so that bacteria cannot cause harm to the host.

The bactericidal antibiotics can be defined as those antibiotics, which kills the bacteria.

The example of bacteriostatic antibiotic is Tetracycline  that it inhibit the bacteria ribosome production of proteins. This way bacterial growth and reproduction will get restricted.

The example of bacteriocidal antibiotic is polymyxin B. It causes injuries to the plasma membrane of the bacteria which can be lethal for bacteria.

What explanation describes the primary function of the cell in the table?
svp [43]

Answer: C) The cell can produce energy for cellular functions.

Explanation: A cell is the functional unit of all living things. Cells are made up different parts with specialized functions. Cells take in nutrients from food and convert them to energy which is needed for other cellular functions. The specialized functions of the different parts of a cell can only be carried out if sufficient energy is provided by the cell. The functions of different parts of a cell include reproduction, absorption of nutrients and removal of substances from the cell, protein synthesis but none of these functions will be carried out if energy is not supplied.
