Answer:

D.Antibiotics cannot treat illnesses.

Explanation:

What is an antibiotic?

Antibiotics are medicines that fight infections caused by bacteria in humans and animals by either killing the bacteria or making it difficult for the bacteria to grow and multiply.

Bacteria are germs. They live in the environment and all over the inside and outside of our bodies. Most bacteria are harmless and even helpful to people, but some can cause infections, like strep throat.

What DO antibiotics treat?

Antibiotics ONLY treat certain infections caused by bacteria, such as

Strep throat

Whooping cough

Urinary tract infection (UTI)

Antibiotics are also needed to treat life-threatening conditions caused by bacteria, such as sepsis, which is the body’s extreme response to infection.

What DON’T antibiotics treat?

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

Most cases of chest colds (bronchitis)

Antibiotics also ARE NOT needed for some common bacterial infections, including:

Many sinus infections

Some ear infections

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

First evidence is both are plants.

Second evidence is both uses sunlight.

Explanation:

Grasses and clover are autotroph and can be classified as producer because they has the ability to produce their own food from the process of photosynthesis. Gerald’s classification is right because grasses and clover are plants and we know that plants are the producer of the ecosystem. We can also see that plant is the only organism which uses sun as a source of energy from which it produce their own food.
