Some antibiotics destroy disease-causing bacteria by entering the bacterial cells and interfering with the critical life processes that keep them alive. However, antibiotics are
*not able to destroy viral infections because
viruses are not cells, so they do not perform the processes that antibiotics normally disrupt.
O the wall surrounding a virus cannot be penetrated by antibiotic chemicals.
O viruses are constantly moving, so antibiotics cannot reach them.
antibiotics are destroyed by the protein coating that surrounds the viral DNA.
