By their nature, they can be either "good" (beneficial) or "bad" (harmful) for the health of plants, humans, and other animals that come into contact with them. A virus is acellular (has no cell structure) and requires a living host to survive; it causes illness in its host, which causes an immune response.Bacteria are alive, while ...

Question 1. For bacterial infections is used antibiotics and for virus infection are used antiviral drugs.

Question 2. Healthy body cells are little effects because the drugs are selective for virus or bacteria.

Explanation:

Viruses are particles of DNA or RNA with envelope or not. This is not a living organism but can infect human cells (they always need cells for reproduction). The antivirals are drugs design for inhibiting viral development, which ones are designed to recognize specific molecules (for example proteins) of the virus avoiding the host molecules. Antivirals are designed to have different targets: inhibitor of viral attachment ( when the infections are initiated the virus attaches to host cells), inhibitor od viral entry ( avoid the virus enter the host cells after attachment, inhibitor of gene expression ( inhibit the virus reproduction when the virus is in the cells host) etc. For all of these antiviral drugs, the targets are specific in the virus and not in human cells.

Bacteria are a unicellular microorganism that can cause an infection in humans (they can enter human cells or not). Antibiotics are specific drugs for bacterial infections having selective toxicity, (this means kills or inhibit the growth of bacteria and not the host.) Antibiotics have a different mode of actions (example: inhibit cell wall synthesis, inhibit DNA synthesis, etc.) but first, the antibiotic recognizes specific structures in the bacteria to make an effect.

In both cases (antivirals or antibiotics) recognize the specific target in bacteria or viruses and not in host cells. Unlike in the cases of parasitic or fungi infections, as those are eukaryotic cells (like human cells) also are toxic to human cells, because the recognition targets could be the same and the dugs can’t distinguish between parasite or fungus from human cells.

Sally and sue were investigating the topic of friction in science. they used a small car and a ramp as seen in the picture to test what they were learning. they knew that they slipped easily on waxed floors but not on carpet, so they decided to change the material on the surface of the ramp to see what happened. they planned to use glass, carpet, aluminum foil, and sandpaper and run the car down the ramp over each surface. what would be the best research question to guide the girls' experiment? a) does the amount of surface area affect the friction on the moving car? b) will the car travel fastest on the glass surface? c) how does the angle of the ramp affect the speed of the car? d)do rougher surfaces tend to create more friction than smooth surfaces?

The small molecule cyclic amp (camp) takes about 0.2 second to diffuse 10 μm, on average, in a cell. suppose that camp is produced near the plasma membrane on one end of the cell; how long will it take for this camp to diffuse through the cytosol and reach the opposite end of a very large cell, on average? assume that the cell is 200 μm in diameter.
