Is it true that alcohol radiation and some antibiotics can cause cells to become more specialized?
Alcohol, radiation, and some antibiotics do not directly cause cells to become more specialized; rather, they can induce stress responses or damage that may lead to cellular changes. For example, radiation can cause mutations and alter gene expression, potentially leading to changes in cell function. However, these effects are often harmful and may result in cell death or cancer rather than promoting healthy specialization. Specialization typically occurs through normal developmental processes and differentiation signals rather than through these damaging agents.

Do antibiotics cause bacteria to become resistant?
Yes, over use of antibiotics can cause bacteria to become resistant.
Why can't you drink when taking antibiotics?
Most antibiotics do not adversely react with alcohol. This is actually an old wives tail dating back to WWII when penicillin was heavily used but in short supply. Soldiers were told that they couldn't drink on the antibiotics in an attempt to keep them sober so that they wouldn't become inebriated and have intercourse with prostitutes, thus catching venereal diseases that would require antibiotic therapy. However, there are a few antibiotics that do have a true reaction with alcohol. For example, Metronidazole inhibits acetaldehyde dehydrogenase thus interfering with alcohol metabolism. These patients will have side effects if alcohol is consumed while the patient is taking the drug and thus, the patient should be instructed to abstain from alcohol use for the duration of the prescription.

Why should you take your antibiotics?
If you dont take all of your antibiotics the bacteria will continue to grow and its DNA will change so it will become resistent to the antibiotics
How has MRSA evolved?
It has become resistant to many antibiotics.
How do antibiotics become resistant to antibacterial drugs?
By mutating
Why will the yogurt not occur when you add a antibiotics?
The antibiotics prevent the growth of the bacteria that is needed to make the milk become yogurt.
When can mutations become adaptations?
When bacteria mutate to adapt to the body, which makes it harder for scientists to create antibiotics for them, as some people stop using antibiotics before the time which the doctors tell them to. This makes the bacteria become stronger against antibiotics.
How do bacteria strains like pneumonia become immune to antibiotics?
They become immune by mutating and blocking certain receptors on the bacteria's surface, which would normally be where the antibiotics would attach to.
What part of the root become mature and become specialized in function?
no
Alexander Fleming why did he become famous?
Because he made antibiotics.
are Antibiotics are useful for limiting the growth of most pathogenic bacteria?
no, many bacteria have become resistant due to improper use of antibiotics.
