Answer:

d. Antibiotics kill some Bacteria and Fungi and are unable to treat Viruses.

Explanation:

Antibiotics are only used to kill bacterias or to decrease their reproductive rate by difficulting their growth and reproduction.

Also, some antibiotics might be used o treat infections caused by some fungi and parasites (but not all of them).  

To remember this, you can just think about its name. Anti- means against, biotic- means life. These are substances used to attack certain living beings, such as bacteria. As viruses are not alive cells (they are DNI + proteins), antibiotics have no effect on them.

Stels [109]

Answer:

The cell could not make ATP.

Explanation:

Glycolysis may be defined as the process in which a glucose molecule is broken down into the two molecules of the pyruvate. Pyruvate is used to produce energy through various pathways that depends upon the availability of the oxygen.

What are some possible consequences of preventing prescribed burns and natural wildfires?
cluponka [151]

The smoke from prescribed burn and managed wildfires is an extremely toxic air pollutant that is very dangerous to<span> unborn fetuses, infant children and elderly people</span>. It also affects normal healthy people without warning. Wood smoke pollution is 12 times more carcinogenic than cigarette smoke, attacks the body cells up to 40 times longer, and kills at least 40,000 adults and children every year. It contains a toxic soup of more than 4,000 chemical compounds of harmful gases and particle matter that go deep in the lungs and kill people, 69 of which are known human carcinogens, including arsenic, particulate matter, ozone, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, dioxin, nitrogen oxides, and radioactive material. Warnings to stay inside on high pollution days are misleading and false. The tiny particles and gases seep inside of homes reaching up to 70 percent of the outside pollution level. No one is safe inside or outside of their homes.
