I know chemotherapy uses chemical to treat cancer but are the chemical they use a virus?
No. All chemotherapy drugs are small molecules. None of them use a virus. There are some experimental cancer treatments that use a virus or part of a virus, but those therapies are called "gene therapy" rather than "chemotherapy".
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 is Used to stop the growth of some types of cancer cells?
Chemotherapy is commonly used to stop the growth of some types of cancer cells. It involves the use of drugs that target and kill rapidly dividing cells, which is a characteristic of cancer. Additionally, targeted therapies and immunotherapy are also employed to specifically inhibit cancer cell growth by attacking cancerous cells or enhancing the body's immune response against them. These treatments can be used alone or in combination, depending on the type and stage of cancer.
What drug is a medication that kills or damages cells?

What does chemotherapy use to destroy cancer cells?
Chemotherapy uses powerful drugs to target and kill rapidly dividing cancer cells. These drugs work by interfering with the cancer cells' ability to grow and reproduce, often by damaging their DNA or disrupting critical cellular processes. While chemotherapy is effective against cancer, it can also affect healthy cells that divide quickly, leading to side effects. The treatment regimen is tailored to the specific type of cancer and the individual patient's needs.
Chemotherapy usually makes use of drugs that affect the cancer cell's?
DNA molecules

Is the treatment of cancer with drugs that can destroy cancer cells?
Drugs used to treat cancer. The mode of action may be one or several, the most prominant however is to stop the fast multiplication of the cells or to slow them down. Hence the reason there is hair loss during chemotherapy. Drugs target the rapidly multiplying cells in the body..they are not able to "search" and "detect" only the cancer cells. Another mode of action is to target the hormone that may be associated with the cancer. In short, stop feeding the cells and they may die
Drugs used to treat cancer usually alter the structure of what in a cell?
Cytoplasm. They use the drugs to enlarge it making the cell burst or they do the opposite and the drugs shrink the cell to where it can't function anymore
