Which body systems would be most involved in ridding the body of the bacteria?
The immune system. The first line of defence such as skin, mucus, and hair around entrences stop bacteria from entering your body. Additionally, tears from the eye wash away bacteria, ear wax stops bacteria in its path, and saliva has anti-bacterial properties in it. There are also cells with cilia in your throat which sweep the bacteria out of your mouth when you cough. The second line of defence is known as 'inflammation'. When the bacteria gets past your first line of defence, the second comes in. For example, when you accidently cut yourself, the sharp object probably has lots of bacteria on it. To fight this, your body sends a rush of blood to the area. Your white blood cells have the main job here. Macrophanges (a type of white blood cell) like phagocytes engulf the harmful bacteria and destroy and digest it usung lysosomes. Symptoms such as pain, swelling and fever are not actally because of the bacteria, but because your body is fighting back. When the blood is being rushed to the area, your blood vessels become bigger (vasodialation) causing swelling. The pinching and stretching also causes the pain. The third line of defence is the last and most powerful one of all. This line is usually for viruses, but can also be used on bad bacteria. It remembers the structure of the pathogen and can act fast when it strickes again. Other white blood cells called lymphocytes are activated. There are generally two types of lymphocytes: B cells and T cells. When a pathogen comes into the third line of defence, the B cells are activated. On the end of a B cell, there are antibodies. On the end of a pathogen, there is an antigen. B-cells all have different shaped antibodies and only one can attach onto the antigen of a pathogen. When the B-cells do find the right antibody, the T helper cells help it to reproduce millions of the same antibodies so that it can fight the pathogen (which meanwhile, was also reproducing). Most of these antibodies become plasma B-cells, which are used to kill the pathogen, however, others become memory B cells, which say in your body years. In case the pathogen strikes again, the memory B cells will know. There are also cytotoxic T cells which kill cells that have been infected. The lymphatic system also has a part. Basically, the blood vessels carry the pathogen to lymph nodes, which are at different places in your body, and store them. When your doctor checks for infections, they might prod the place just under your cheek, near your ear, where a pair of lymph nodes are. By the way, when you are vaccinated, a fragment of the virus is insered into your bloodstream and it triggers your B cells to reproduce. Those memory cells will stay, and you will be immune. The symptoms tha some people get is when it aso triggers the second like of defense. Hope I helped :) - Apoorva M
What happens to bacteria over time when exposed to antibiotics frequently?
Bacteria can develop resistance to antibiotics through genetic mutations or by acquiring resistance genes from other bacteria. Over time, the resistant bacteria population can grow, making the antibiotics less effective in treating infections caused by those bacteria. This can lead to treatment failure and the need for more powerful antibiotics.
What is the function of cell lyosomes?
Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes (acid hydrolases). They digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. The membrane surrounding a lysosome allows the digestive enzymes to work at the 4.5 pH they require. Lysosomes fuse with vacuoles and dispense their enzymes into the vacuoles, digesting their contents.
What is a powerful drug that destroys bacteria and it is used to treat strep throat?
One powerful drug used to treat strep throat is penicillin. It is a commonly prescribed antibiotic that works by killing the bacteria causing the infection. Other antibiotics, such as amoxicillin or cephalosporins, may also be used depending on the specific circumstances and patient allergies.
Why can a porcelain filter catch all bacteria but viruses go through?
Porcelain filters have small pores that can physically trap bacteria as they are larger in size. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and can pass through the pores of the porcelain filter. Specialized filters or treatments are needed to effectively remove viruses from water.
What is the most powerful pathogen?
Viruses are the most powerful pathogens...
The small bodies in the cytoplasm that contain powerful digestive enzymes that enhance the breakdown of the cellular components are called?
Lysosomes
What is the of a powerful microscope?
to look at very small obects and bacteria
What is the use of a powerful microscope?
to look at very small obects and bacteria
What is found inside lysosomes?
Lysosomes are like the "garbage collectors" in a cell. They collect all of the wastes that the cell does not use and they get rid of them, either by excreting them or breaking them down.
How does bacteria get more powerful?
it builds up an immunity to antibiotics and it eats other microscopic creatures
Can bacteria causes disease?
Less then 1 percent cause disease. Disease causing bacteria produce toxins- powerful chemicals that damage cells and make you ill.
Why don't doctors prescribe antibiotics if you have the flu?
antibiotics can be powerful.

What type of microbes do antibiotic kill?
they have something special which kills them but recently it has been discovered that a few types of microbes cant be killed with antibiotics !!!!!!!
What did Leeuwenhoek use that enabled him to see bacteria?
Leeuwenhoek used a single-lens microscope that he designed himself. This powerful magnifying lens allowed him to observe bacteria for the first time in history.
