Question
- select the meaning of the word using the lists in the lesson.
antibiotics
○ disease of the eyes
○ something that kills organisms
○ against science
○ life - giving
To determine the meaning of "antibiotics", we analyze the word's roots: "anti-" means against or opposing, and "bio-" relates to life/organisms. Antibiotics are substances that kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms (organisms). The first option refers to an eye disease (unrelated), the third ("against science") misinterprets "anti -" and "bio -", and the fourth ("life - giving") is incorrect. Only "something that kills organisms" matches the definition of antibiotics.
