Answer:No, viruses and some illnesses cannot be cured with antibiotics
Explanation: Because viruses are necessarily "hackers who reprogram your pc(cells)" Antibiotics can kill normal cells along the process, thus harming your cells too. An ideal situation for antibiotics would be bacteria infection where it kills the bacteria
Answer:
A buffer is simply a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Buffers work by reacting with any added acid or base to control the pH.
Explanation:
Answer:
C) binding to mRNAs and degrading them or blocking their translation
Explanation:
<u>miRNAs:</u>
miRNAs is the abbreviation of MicroRNAs. These are the small noncoding RNAs of ∼22 nucleotides which can not code for peptides. miRNAs are responsible for gene expression regulation at the level of post transcription. They can do so by forming complementary base pairing with target mRNA and inhibiting their translation.
They silenced mRNA by the following processes:
(1) Cleavage of the mRNA strand into pieces,
(2) stopping mRNA from translation into proteins by ribosomes.
(3) Shortening of mRNA poly(A) tail and destabilizing it.
<span>Cocaine Preparations
-Coca leaves --> Coca Paste (60% pure): Not water soluble, so you can't inject it into the bloodstream -- you need an additional chemical step to turn the paste into crystal powder that can be injected or snorted
-Coca --> Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure): Doesn't hold up very well to heat, so you can't smoke cocaine hydrochloride
-Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure) --> Free-Base Cocaine or Crack Cocaine:
-Reconvert cocaine hydrochloride back to base state by removing hydrochloride from cocaine (that's why it's called free-base cocaine)
-Crack cocaine is a crystallized form, mixture of cocaine and baking soda
-75% pure
-Can be used at lower doses and is much cheaper than cocaine
-Can be smoked</span>
