Four differences between viruses and bacteria ​

Biology
1 answer:
amid [387]3 years ago
7 0

the main difference is that bacteria are free-living cells that can live inside or outside a body, while viruses are a non-living collection of molecules that need a host to survive.

Many bacteria help us: living in our gut digesting and helping absorption of our food, fixing nitrogen and decomposing organic materials in soil. Similarly, not all viruses are bad—we now know there are also beneficial viruses present in our gut, skin and blood that can kill undesirable bacteria and more dangerous viruses.

ryzh [129]

<u>Thermohaline</u> is a large scale ocean water circulation driven by density differences due to the changes in surface water temperatures and fresh water fluxes.

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is the ocean circulation driven by variation in ocean densities. The deep ocean currents are influenced variations in the temperature controlled water density (thermo) and the salinity (haline) of the ocean waters. This circulation happens due to the thermal and haline influences on the ocean waters.  

Due to extremely cold water, the ocean waters in the Earth’s polar region gets very cold and forms sea ice leaving salt behind. This decreases sea water temperature but increases the salinity levels.

With increase in salinity, the density of the water also increases which makes the water heavy and sink and the surface water moves in to fill the sunken sea water.

Again this surface water also becomes cold and the cycle continues leading the global ocean conveyor belt and causes freshwater fluxes depending upon the latitude of the ocean.

If photosynthesis captures only 1-2% of the energy from sunlight, what happens to the other 98-99% of energy
Sergio [31]
<span>It is used to produce carbohydrate molecules (Carbohydrates are molecular compounds made from just three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides are relatively small molecules.). The energy from the light is shuttled from the light reaction to the dark reaction (Calvin Cycle). The energy goes into generating the intermediary ATP and another chemical called NADPH.</span>

Which optical phenomena are formed by water droplets?
maw [93]
One of the most common and well known atmospheric optics, the rainbow is formed when sunlight is refracted and reflected by water. A collection of droplets in the atmosphere — whether from rain, a waterfall, a sprinkler, etc. — disperses the entire visible light spectrum at an angle, resulting in the circular shape.
