Why antibiotics can be usful in treating bacterial diseases but not in treating viral diseases?

Antibiotics kill the bacteria but not the people by affecting parts of the bacterial system that humans do not share. Viruses use the person's own systems to do most functions and so not have the same or as many targets for the drugs. There are some antiviral drugs but now as many as antibiotics.


Bacteria that synthesize their own food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light are called?

These bacteria are called cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae. They use photosynthesis to produce their own food, generating oxygen as a byproduct. This process is similar to that of plants.


What kind of drugs can kill bacteria?

Antibiotics are drugs that can kill bacteria by targeting specific mechanisms within the bacterial cell, such as disrupting cell wall synthesis or inhibiting protein synthesis. Common classes of antibiotics include penicillins, cephalosporins, tetracyclines, and fluoroquinolones. It's important to use antibiotics appropriately and as prescribed by a healthcare professional to avoid resistance and side effects.


What process do most autotrophic bacteria do for their nutritional needs?

Most autotrophic bacteria obtain their nutritional needs through photosynthesis, where they use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds. Some autotrophic bacteria may also use chemosynthesis, a process where they derive energy from inorganic compounds to synthesize organic molecules.


A virus that infects bacteria?

A virus that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage. Bacteriophages inject their genetic material into the bacteria and use the host's machinery to replicate. They are being studied for potential use in treating bacterial infections in humans.

How and why do humans use photosynthesis?

Humans are not primarily photosynthetic. Plants are. Plants use sunlight to synthesize chemicals that they need. They do not eat. Humans, in comparison, are omnivorous. We eat food to gain energy, so we do not need photosynthetic skin. However, we humans do synthesize vitamin D with the help of sunlight, so to that small extent we do engage in photosynthesis.


Can veterinary niclosamide be used in humans in proper doses?

Meaning of regulated drugs?

Regulated drugs are medications that are followed and tested to ensure they are good to use on humans. If they are not regulated, they may harm humans.


What do humans use bacteria for?

Some bacteria are beneficial to humans. They aid in digestion, for hormonal production such as insulin for diabetes, and in generating bio fuels.


Which process is solar energy trapped for use by organisms?

Photosynthesis: as used by plants to produce glucose. And humans use sunlight to synthesize vitamin D( not called photosynthesis)


Why can Bacteria are able to produce human proteins?

They reproduce quickly, so they often produce much of the desired protein in a short time.


Bacter that synthesize their own food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light called?

Bacteria that synthesize their own food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light are called photoautotrophic bacteria. They use light energy to drive the process of photosynthesis, converting inorganic compounds into organic compounds for their energy needs.


How do people ensure that drugs are safe for humans to use?

well, not all drugs are good for you. The drugs that people are talking about is medicine and if you take it to much you can have a heart stroke and possibly die.


3 ways humans use bacteria?

Humans use bacteria in the fermentation process to produce products like yogurt, cheese, and sauerkraut. Bacteria are used in sewage treatment plants to break down organic matter and purify water. Some bacteria are used in biotechnology to produce insulin, antibiotics, and other pharmaceuticals.
