- Why can’t drugs used to treat influenza, like neuraminidase inhibitors, be used to treat a wider variety of viral infections? Why can't antibiotics be used to treat influenza? Explain your answers.arrow_forwardWhich statement is TRUE? A Viruses are not living things because they don’t have DNA. B Viruses are not living things because they cannot reproduce. C Viruses are not living things because they don’t have organelles. D Viruses are not living things because they are too small to be alive.arrow_forwardEmerging viruses that suddenly become apparent in causing widespread disease are actually caused by the spread of existing viruses to new host species. mutation of existing viruses. all of the other answers together are correct the spread of existing viruses more widely within their host species.arrow_forward
- (Taking a look at antibiotic resistance) since we try to keep bacteria out of our cells for the most part what do you think is the best way to utilize antibiotics to efficiently keep ourselves healthy? Are we using too many or not enough in society? Provide at least one supporting fact to help your opinion.arrow_forwardWhich came first virus or man? Why viruses infect humans the way they do?arrow_forwardhow does a bacteria cell protect its self from a viral attack? Bacteria mark their own DNA Bacteria cut up virus DNA Bacteria mark virus DNA Bacteria use virus DNA to help them O Virus DNA does not hurt Bacteriaarrow_forward
- How effective are antibiotics against viral infections? Antibiotics can prevent viral entry into the cell by binding to host-receptor proteins. Antibiotics work by inhibiting enzymes specific to bacteria. Antibiotics have no effect on eukaryotic or virally encoded enzymes. Antibiotics activate the immune system, and this decreases the severity of the infection. Antibiotics do not kill viruses because viruses do not have DNA or RNA.arrow_forwardPrions are tiny circular molecules of RNA that can infect plants mobile segments of DNA viral DNA that attaches itself to the host genome and causes disease misfolded versions of normal proteins that can cause diseasearrow_forwardWhy is the Salk vaccine not going to chaise a disease? -it has been altered to evade the immune system. -it is not taken up by the digestive tract. -it is not a virus.arrow_forward
- A new medication has been found that can stop the spread of a disease significantly by a process that does not allow the virus to leave the infected person's body. Patients who do not take the medication have very high transmission rates. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) randomly selected participants for a study and divided them into two groups. The first group received the medication and the second group did not. The CDC has concluded that the medication could halt the spread of the disease. Which statistical study did the CDC most likely use? a They most likely used a sample survey that asked patients who took the medication whether they came in contact with someone who had the disease. b They most likely used an observational study that observed patients, selected at random, to determine whether those patients who took the medication spread the disease to others. c They most likely used an experimental study under controlled circumstances on…arrow_forwardIn many viral diseases such as smallpox, and mumps, illness occurs shortly after exposure to the virus. In others such as, AIDS, the victim may not show any symptoms for many years. How would you explain the difference between the two situations>arrow_forwardIn the Middle Ages, during massive plague epidemic, one of the control measures instituted was the quarantine of infected people. Why was this not successful?arrow_forward
