Please help!! - 1. Is a virus a living organism? Why? 2. Why are antibiotics not good for virus infections? 3. What is the difference between an organ and an organ system? 4. What happens to the other organ systems if one organ system fail? How does this affect homeostasis? 5. What is one body system humans have? What is one body system humans DO NOT have?

1. No

2. Antibiotics cannot kill viruses because viruses have different structures and replicate in a different way than bacteria.

Antibiotics work by targeting the growth machinery in bacteria (not viruses) to kill or inhibit those particular bacteria.

When you think about it structurally, it makes sense that an antibiotic could not work to kill a virus with a completely different set of replicating “machinery”.

3. An organ is a part of the body that performs a special task to help the organism live while an organ system is a collective group of organs.

4. The breakdown of a particular organ system is not supposed to cause the breakdown of another except it performs a function needed for the other organ system to function.
