Quentin goes to the urgent care center after stepping on a piece of glass. The doctor tells him he will need a few stitches to close the wound. Quentin sees the doctor’s tools laid out on a counter. Each tool is sealed in its own plastic bag. “Why are the tools in bags?” he asks a nurse. “We put the tools in bags to sterilize them. The bagged tools go into a special oven that heats them and kills all microorganisms. We do not want to put germs in your body while we are giving you stitches,” the nurse replies. Why is it necessary to keep the tools in plastic bags after all the microorganisms are killed?

to prevent spontaneous generation of the bacteria

to block the bacteria’s access to a host

to weaken the bacteria’s resistance to antibiotics

to prevent the sterile tools from being exposed to more microorganisms

Many antibiotics work by preventing bacteria from building a strong cell wall that can protect them. For example, the antibiotic penicillin keeps bacteria from making the most common molecule that is needed to build their complete cell walls. This causes the cell wall to burst and the bacteria to die. Would antibiotics also work to destroy viruses?

Yes, because all viruses have cell walls.

Maybe, because only some viruses have cell walls.

No, because viruses have a cell membrane but no cell wall.

No, because viruses do not have cell walls at all.
