Antibiotics

Antibiotics



Some antibacterials kill bacteria outright and are called bactericidal. They directly attack the bacteria cell wall, which hurt the cell. Then the bacteria can no longer attack the body. Antibiotics can only treat bacteria not viruses.

Other antibacterials block the bacteria's growth or reproduction. They are often called bacteriostatic antibiotics, they stop nutrients from reaching bacteria. That stops them from dividing and multiplying. It helps stop the infection and give the body time to get the immune system back together and time to attack. 




Reflection: I never realized how much antibiotics did for you and the different things that they did. I always thought they just killed the bacteria inside your body. It is pretty cool how antibiotics work. Its great we have doctors working everyday to find cures to more and more diseases with antibiotics.

Anaerobic Energy Production - MORGAN BANKS

Image
ANAEROBIC ENERGY PRODUCTION  Anaerobic Energy Production is one form of Cellular Respiration  This form requiers no oxygen  Is used for a fast burst of energy Occurs mostly in prokaryotes cells  Fermentation 1- lactic acid (makes muscles sore)  2- Alocholic REFLECTION - Anaerobic Production has no oxygen, therefore many of the things we do, do not involve anaerobic production! It involves the aerobic energy production. This is not only a good review for you but for me as well on how to justify the two.  http://slideplayer.com/slide/9078035/ MORE INFO: http://www.diffen.com/difference/Aerobic_Respiration_vs_Anaerobic_Respiration VIDEO/QUIZ:  http://study.com/academy/lesson/anaerobic-exercise-definition-benefits-examples.html

Genetic Variation: Mutations

Image
What is a mutation? A mutation is any change in the DNA sequence.  There are three types of mutations: * addition: One or more nucleotide base pairs are inserted into a DNA sequence (also called frameshift mutation)  *deletion: The removal of one or more nucleotides in a DNA sequence (also called frameshift mutation) *substitution: A mutation that exchanges one or more bases for another (also called point mutation) How do they occur & why? Mutations for randomly, but different mutations occur different ways.  Most of the time a mutation comes from radiation (so like the sun, X-rays, tanning salons, etc). Some mutations can be genetic though, like autism. Autism is caused when theres an extra chromosome. Another common mutation would be cancer. Cancer occurs when cells uncontrollably grow, and don't die.  Can it be prevented?  Unfortunately, mutations are random. The best way to prevent them is to protect yoursel...
