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

Which step in translation initiation is unique to eukaryotes? which step in translation initiation is unique to eukaryotes? bind

Hitman42 [59]

The step in translation initiation that is unique to the eukaryotes is:

formation of the preinitiation complex ribosome assembly

Here are the processes involved in the Translation Initiation of Eukaryotes

1) 5'cap is used to position the mRNA on the 40S ribosomal subunit
2) ribosome scans down the mRNA looking for an AUG.
3) There is an initiator methionine-tRNA
4) The initiating AUG codon is often within a consensus sequence called the Kozak sequence (5'-ACCAUGG-3')
5) After binding the cap, ribosomes scan down the mRNA until the Kozak sequence is reached and translation begins
6)The poly (A) tail and 5'-cap binding proteins help the initiation complex form

Ecological balance always require that there must be more producers than the number of consumer. When the equation for ecological balance will be reverse there will be ecological imbalance which is called the disturbances. This will later on cause the scarcity of resource and extinction of one species.
