Is white blood cells a virus or bacteria?
White blood cells are normal parts of the human body. They are neither viruses nor bacteria.
What is the system that helps fight bacteria and viruses called?
The immune system is the body's defense system that helps fight off bacteria and viruses. It is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from harmful pathogens.
What is a substance that can be obtained from bacteria or fungi and can be used as a drug to fight pathogenic bacteria?
The answer to this question would be: Antibiotic
Which part of blood is responsible for fighting infections?
White blood cells, specifically neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils, are responsible for fighting infections in the body. These cells help identify and destroy pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and other harmful invaders to maintain overall immune health.
What has been used in bacteria to produce proteins and drugs that help fight disease?
Bacteria have been engineered to produce proteins and drugs using recombinant DNA technology. This involves inserting genes encoding the desired protein or drug into the bacteria's genome, which then enables them to produce these compounds efficiently on a large scale for therapeutic use in fighting diseases.
Why can't drugs treat viral infections?
Drugs can treat viral infections, just not the same way as other infections. With other infections--let's say bacterial--the bacteria attacks and kills cells. Drugs fight them by killing the bacteria. Viruses enter into the cells they attack. They then hijack the cell and turn them into factories for producing more viruses. Drugs can't just go in and attack the cells they're merged into, because the drugs would hit the healthy original cells, too. Drugs that fight viruses focus on interrupted the process of taking over the cell at some stage. Needless to say, this is very difficult, so much so that it's easier to treat the symptoms of some diseases and leave the immune system to fight the virus. Many many viruses don't even have drugs developed to fight them, because we can't figure out how to beat them. It's just that hard. Vaccines are much easier to make and have the advantage of being proactive and disadvantage of being completely useless after you're infected. Viruses are tricky business.
What system gets rid of bacteria and viruses?
The organs of the immune system fight viruses and bacteria.
What are antibiotics and what are they used for?
Antibiotics are medicines that cure infections. They have no effect on viruses.
Why do antibodies work to kill bacteria but not viruses?
bacteria is complit cell or contain cellular material hence specific antibody riquar as compair to virus is difrance
Does the endocrine system help fight bacteria and viruses?
true
What eats viruses?
Not sure if any bacteria/protists eat viruses, but our white blood cells definitely do. How do you think you fight a cold?
Is white blood cells a virus or bacteria?
White blood cells are normal parts of the human body. They are neither viruses nor bacteria.
What has been used in bacteria to produce proteins in drugs that help fight diseases?
RNA

What system includes specialized cells that help fight bacteria and viruses?
The immune system has special cells that help the body to fight off any invaders.
What are antibiotics viruses or Monera?
Antibiotics are products made to fight bacteria. The word means anti- (against) -bio (life). Since viruses are not alive, antibiotics cannot harm them.
