That is what happens with most antibiotics. but UVlight doesnt need to lyse the cell to get inside it passes right through the outer layers and is absorbed by DNA destroying the DNA without touching the cell walls.

I know it doesn’t need to but it does right?
 
no not really, of the four macromolecules DNA is the onlyone that redily absorbs UV light with the exception of some proteins. and besides the few UV photons that are absorbed only damage so much, a cell wall can take a good beating before it lyses and UV doesnt really provide that beating

Well then I must have all the information confuddled in my head. It’s very annoying to study so hard, constantly feel like I’m running in a academic marathon that is lasting years and years to have all the information jumbled up. I’ve been thinking of doing head stands on a regular basis to get more blood to my brain. :fun:

Well I’m not an English major, I’m a science major. Though my major is focused on the health sciences so it’s a lot of different stuff crammed into one major. I hate English but I think you could be a much better speller if you just used spell check. That’s a lazy problem not an English problem. :)
Btw, are you in school? What are you studying and what do you want to do with yourself?
 
No GL we aren't off topic :X

I use firefox so there is not spell checker and I just reformatted and relised I dont have any writing program other than notepad

I'm in highschool, will probably be going to Centra Washington University in the fall, plan on becomeing a doctor.
