Scientists have developed antibiotics that destroy the cell walls of some cells. This medicine works really well o bacteria . Would it work well on viruses ? aNo, because viruses only have plasma membranes Ob Yes, because viruses and bacteria have the same structure Yes, because viruses and bacteria both make people sick Od No, because viruses are not made up of cells and lack a cell wall

Answer 1

The correct answer is: D. No, because viruses are not made up of cells and lack a cell wall.

Antibiotics that target bacterial cell walls are ineffective against viruses because viruses do not have a cell wall or a cellular structure. Viruses are much simpler entities that consist of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein coat and sometimes a lipid envelope, but they lack the complex cellular components found in bacteria.
