Question

How are antibiotics able to target the bacteria cells but not the healthy cells within your body ?

Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Antibiotics:

• Medications used specifically against bacteria are called antibiotics.

Difference between bacterial cells and our healthy cells:

• Bacterial cells have cell walls. However, Healthy cells of our body lack cell wall.

Why are antibiotics able to target bacterial cells:

• Antibiotics are specific in their functions. They are designed as to attack only bacterial cells. They attack the cell wall of the bacterial cell most often. Since, the healthy cells of our body lack cell wall, antibiotics are not able to attack healthy cells of our body.

In this way, our body cells are safe from the attack of antibiotics.
