Basic a level knowledge: Tears are a form of chemical barrier from infection. The enzyme lysozyme is found in tears which kills of some bacteria which helps prevent pathogens entering the body and causing infection. I hope this helps, I'm unsure how the enzyme kills the bacteria as I was only aware that enzymes are catalysts that lower the activation energy in a reaction. If any one knows I'll be very grateful. :) Xxx
What else can I help you with?
Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of what?
Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of enzymes and reactive oxygen species (such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide) to effectively kill and eliminate the bacteria. These substances help the immune cells to break down and degrade the bacteria's cell wall and components.
Sulfur is burned for to destroy what?
Sulfur is burned to destroy bacteria, fungi, and molds on surfaces and in soil, making it a common method for disinfection and pest control.
Stimulates the body to produce chemicals that destroy viruses and bacteria?
The immune system is stimulated to produce antibodies that can target and destroy viruses and bacteria when the body detects an infection. This immune response helps to neutralize the pathogens and prevent them from causing harm to the body.
What is the difference between decay and decompose?
Decay refers to the natural breakdown of organic matter by bacteria, fungi, and other organisms, while decompose specifically refers to the process of breaking down organic material into simpler substances. Decay is a broader term that includes various stages of decomposition, while decomposition is a specific step in the decay process.
The chief reason for chlorinating water is to?
Chlorinating water helps to kill harmful bacteria and pathogens, making the water safer to drink. It also helps to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases and improve overall water quality.
Can tears destroy bacteria?
Tears contain an antibacterial substance :)
What organelle functions to destroy substances such as bacteria and viruses engulfed by phagocytes?
Lysosone
Do special lysosomes in the macrophage cell contain digestive enzymes that can destroy invading bacteria?
Yes, macrophages contain lysosomes that contain digestive enzymes such as lysozyme and proteases. These enzymes help the macrophages break down and destroy invading bacteria and other pathogens.
Special lysosomes in the macrophage cell contain digestive enzymes that can destroy invading bacteria?
true
What is the antibacterial triclosan used for?
Maybe you should try somewhere else coz i dont no!!
Are tears a primary defence system?
Tears primarily serve to lubricate and protect the eyes, as well as to remove irritants. They are not considered a primary defense system, as they do not actively target pathogens or foreign substances in the body. However, tears do contain enzymes that can help fight certain types of bacteria.
How can antibiotics give rise to resistant strains of bacteria?
The theory is that any time you use an antibacterial agent, you can only kill 99.99% of the bacteria, while the remaining 0.01% may be bacteria more resistant than the original. When those few remaining bacteria multiply, they may be more difficult to destroy.
Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of what?
Immune cells that destroy bacteria with chemicals need an abundance of enzymes and reactive oxygen species (such as hydrogen peroxide and superoxide) to effectively kill and eliminate the bacteria. These substances help the immune cells to break down and degrade the bacteria's cell wall and components.
Proteins that destroy substances that are not part of your body are called what?
Proteins that destroy substances that are not part of your body are called antibodies. Antibodies are produced by the immune system to help protect the body against harmful invaders like bacteria and viruses.
Why not use antibacterial or antiviral drugs to destroy prions?
Prions are not susceptible to antibacterial or antiviral drugs because they are not living organisms like bacteria or viruses. Prions are misfolded proteins that cause other proteins to misfold, leading to disease. They are resistant to most traditional forms of disinfection or drug treatment.
What substance is derived from and used to destroy microorganisms?
Antibiotics are substances derived from natural sources or synthesized in labs that are used to destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria. They work by targeting specific mechanisms in the microorganism, ultimately leading to their destruction.
Are use by white blood cells to digest and destroy bacteria?
Lysosomes are used by white blood cells to digest and destroy bacteria. These organelles contain enzymes that break down the bacteria into smaller particles, effectively neutralizing the threat. The process of lysosomal digestion is crucial for immune responses and defense against invading pathogens.
