Answer:

An antibiotic is a type of antimicrobial substance active against bacteria. It is the most important type of antibacterial agent for fighting bacterial infections, and antibiotic medications are widely used in the treatment and prevention of such infections. They may either kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. Antibiotics DO NOT work on viruses, such as those that cause: Colds and runny noses, even if the mucus is thick, yellow, or green. Most sore throats (except strep throat) Flu.

Answer:

Antibiotics are medicines that help stop infections caused by bacteria. They do this by killing the bacteria or by keeping them from copying themselves or reproducing. Antibiotics do not work on viruses, such as those that cause colds, flu, bronchitis, or runny noses, even if the mucus is thick, yellow, or green. Antibiotics are only needed for treating certain infections caused by bacteria, but even some bacterial infections get better without antibiotics.

To answer the question:

Responsible behavior

Jenna published the results of her latest experiment for the public to see.
Elena keeps complete records of all her experiment results.
Neal shared the results of his field study even though they didn't support his hypothesis.

Irresponsible behavior

Malcolm altered an experiment to be able to reach his desired conclusion

Responsible behaviors are those that support responsible scientific practices and do not jeopardize the objective nature of research. Every data during experiments must be well kept and after thorough analysis, results must be published fro the public to see irrespective of whether it agrees or disagrees with the original hypothesis.

Altering an experiment in order to achieve the desired result is grossly irresponsible, as this eliminates the objectivity that should be the main goal of every experiment. Bias must be eliminated from every scientific experiment.
