Why doesn't antibiotics effect virus?
Antibiotics kill infectious cells, but viruses are non-living.
What are the cells that make antibiotics?
Antibiotics are chemically synthesized compounds. They are not made by cells
Why might you treat a bacterial infection but not a viral disease with an antibiotic?
Antibiotics have no affect on a virus, only on bacteria.
Why can you not kill flu with antibiotics?
Antibiotics are only for killing bacteria, they do not work on viruses which are the cause of the flu. Bacteria are living organisms and so poisons and chemicals can actually kill them. But flu viruses are non-living organisms so they can not be killed, they can only be inactivated by damage or physical blocking by antibodies (made by our immune systems) of the shapes of the structures viruses use to attach to a host's cells. Viruses need a host's cells to use to reproduce, if they can not attach to the cells, they will be inactivated. Antibiotics are not capable of inactivating them.
Why disease cause by virus cannot be treated with antibiotics?
antibiotics have a purpose to kill only bacteria.Only for few viral diseases drugs have been found.Virus cannot be killed by antibiotics but when there is a viral attack our immune system is severely comprimised hence we take antibiotics to prevent any bacterial diseases these include hiv aids and flu
Why don't antibiotics kill your cells when you take them?
Usually, antibiotics don't kill your cells if the biotic isn't strong enough.
Are synthetic antibiotics living things?
No.
Why antibiotics work against bacteria but not viruses?
Since viruses invade our cells, and take over our DNA, we cannot use antibiotics against them because they would have to get inside of our cells to kill the viruses. That would mean that our cells would also be killed by the antibiotic.
Do plant cells produce antibiotics?
YES!
Do antibiotics work on eukaryotic cells, and if so, how do they affect them differently than prokaryotic cells?
Antibiotics do not work on eukaryotic cells because they target specific structures or processes unique to prokaryotic cells, such as cell wall synthesis or protein synthesis. Eukaryotic cells have different structures and processes, so antibiotics do not affect them in the same way.
Which microbe can't be killed by antibiotics?
Viruses are microscopic and can not be killed by antibiotics (against life) as they are not living.
Are cork cells living or non living cells?
non-living cells
