Antibiotics prevent the bacterial cell wall from developing hence preventing bacterial growth. however, viruses do not have cell walls, so the antibiotics do not attack them.
This came in Paper 6...It ain't coming tom, for sure!

Explain why food chains have fewer than 5 trophic levels.

The answer's pretty obvious, but can anyone explain this in a manner fit for an IG paper. XD

for a 2 mark q...this should work...this is becaz the energy in the chain produced by the producers is lost at each trophic level and by the tyme it reaches the 5th it is all used up..so there wont be enough energy left for an other level :)

lol its is the 'stupid' answer .. because energy is lost in huge amounts as you go up the trophic levels, due to metabolism, heat loss n stuff .. further down the chain suppose 6 level .. u hav to eat LOTS of food !!!  ;)

Hey guys, do v need to learn a sigmoid curve or something? Like its phases and everything? If yes can someone explain it? Thanks a lot! :D

can u give example plz..

reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen
usually all decomposition carbonate reactions are reversible
sulfur dioxide and oxygen reaction to form SO3
oxygen to ozone .. many ..

You should be able to learn this.

I'll give you an example of phases in bacterial growth.

Lag phase:  When doubling of the numbers has little effect as the numbers are so small.  Bacteria take up water and nutrients, make new cytoplasm, DNA and enzymes.

Log phase:  When the population is increasing rapidly.  The populatoin increases by doubling and there are no limiting factors, such as food or water.

Stationary phase:  When bacterial cells are dying at the same rate at which they are being produced.  This may be because of shortage of food or because waste products are building up.

Death phase:  When more cells are dying than are being produced, so the population declines.  Causes of death may be lack of food, shortage of oxygen or a build-up of toxic waster products.

Hope that helps!
