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.


How does heat shock affect bacteria?

Heat shock can affect bacteria by causing their proteins to denature, or unfold, which can disrupt their normal functions and potentially lead to cell death. This stress response can also trigger the production of heat shock proteins, which help the bacteria survive and adapt to the stressful conditions.


A chemical that kills bacteria or slows their growth is called?

Antibiotics, is a generalized answer, however there are different types of antibiotics.
