🗑
|
||||
| antibiotics | are medicines that stop the growth and reproduction of bacteria
🗑
|
||||
| virus | is a strand of DNA or RNA surrounded by a layer of protein that can infect and replicate in a host cell.
🗑
|
||||
| virus | They are between 20-100 times smaller than bacteria
🗑
|
||||
| host cell | 9. Viruses are not considered living things; they can replicate but must rely on a living organism to do so. The cell that the virus attaches to is called the ______.
🗑
|
||||
| viral | Antibiotics do not work against _________infections
🗑
|
||||
| communicable diseases | are also call infectious diseases
🗑
|
||||
| pathogens | Communicable diseases are caused by _________________ that can be transmitted from one person to another.
🗑
|
||||
| communicable diseases | The type of disease that may pass by direct contact, the exchange of blood or bodily fluids, indirect contact, or a vector.
🗑
|
||||
| vector | a disease carrying organism that does not develop the disease.

| antibody | substance made by an animal in response to an antigen. It attaches to the antigen/pathogen making it harmless.
🗑

||||
| antibiotics | Used to treat and possibly cure BACTERIAL infections. Ineffective against viral diseases
🗑
