Why does hydrogen peroxide kill bacteria but not human skin cells?

Hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria by generating reactive oxygen species that damage bacterial cell membranes and proteins. Human skin cells contain enzymes like catalase that break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, protecting them from its harmful effects. This allows human skin cells to survive exposure to hydrogen peroxide while bacteria cannot.


What bacteria do you have in your digestive tract?

MILLIONS of them, not all cataloged or identified even today. You are outnumbered even within your own skin; there are more bacteria and other non-human cells in your body than there are human cells.


What do you call a bacteria who eats your dead skin?

The bacteria that feed on dead skin cells are called "commensal bacteria." They play a role in maintaining healthy skin by helping to regulate the skin's microbiome.


A biology student is using illustrations of a virus a bacteria an amoeba and a human skin cell to show the relative size of these microscopic objects Which of these is the smallest microscopic obj?

A virus is the smallest microscopic object among the options provided. It is smaller than bacteria, amoeba, and human skin cells.


Which oif these is the smallest microscopic object a virus or amoeba or bacteria or human skin cell?

The smallest microscopic object among these options is a virus. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria, amoebas, and human skin cells, and can only be seen with an electron microscope due to their tiny size.
