Tears contain antibacterial substances that destroy many bacteria?
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
Which Substance that can kill disease causing organism?
Antibiotics are substances that can kill disease-causing organisms, such as bacteria. They work by targeting specific components or functions within the bacteria, ultimately leading to their destruction. It's important to use antibiotics judiciously and only as prescribed by a healthcare professional to prevent antibiotic resistance.
How does bar soap kill bacteria?
Bar soap helps to kill bacteria by disrupting the cell membrane of the bacteria, leading to its death. The lather and friction created by rubbing the soap onto the skin also physically remove bacteria from the skin's surface. Additionally, some bar soaps contain antibacterial ingredients like triclosan or tea tree oil that can help kill bacteria.
Is Lysol considered a detergent or a soap?
Lysol is a combination of surfactants (cause substances to become wet and slide loose from a surface), solvents (causes substances to dissolve) and disinfectants (kills bacteria)
Is there alchol in Lysol disinfectant wipes?
Lysol disinfectant wipes do not contain alcohol. They are formulated with active ingredients such as quaternary ammonium compounds to kill bacteria and viruses.

How do tears kill bacteria?

What chemical in your tears kills?
Your tears contain the enzyme lysozyme. This chemical disrupts the cell walls of gram-positive bacteria by digesting the peptidoglycan in them. This enzyme is also found in your saliva and is an example of a non-specific immune response.
How does tears compare to blood pH?
tears are 5.0 blood is 7.4 but the both can kill bacteria. with the acid in them.
Two natural defences the body has against viruses?
Tears, sweat and saliva all contain enzymes which weaken the cell membrane and kill the bacteria cells. INTERFERON and VACCINES
What produces enzymes to digest bacteria?
Tears produce lysozyme to kill bacteria, gastric juice secretes Hcl that kills bacteria.
What do toothpastes contain to kill bacteria?
Triclosan/Copolymer
What molds produce substances that kill bacteria?
Penicillium and Streptomyces molds produce substances known as penicillin and streptomycin, respectively, which are able to kill bacteria. These substances are used as antibiotics to treat bacterial infections in humans and animals.
What are called certain molds and soil bacteria produce bacteria killing substances?
antibioitcs
Can sweat or tears kill germs?
Your tears contain the enzyme lysozyme which can kill gram-positive bacteria by disrupting their cell-walls. It does this by digesting the peptidoglycan found in them. Secretions from sebacious and sweat glands on your skin don't necessarily kill bacteria but they do give the skin a PH of around 3-5. This acidity helps prevent colonisation by pathogens on the skin.
What is the role of tears in the immune system?
