Are viruses alive? This question is debated among scientists throughout the world. Consider the following passage. Scientific re

searchers discovered agents that behaved like bacteria causing diseases such as rabies and hoof-and-mouth, but were much smaller. At this time it became the general view that viruses were biologically "alive." This perception changed in 1935 when the tobacco mosaic virus was crystallized and scientists demonstrated that the particles lacked any mechanisms necessary for metabolic function. It was determined that viruses consisted of a nucleic acid, DNA or RNA, surrounded by a protein shell and the scientific view changed: viruses are complex biochemical mechanisms but not alive.
According to the passage, the MOST IMPORTANT evidence supporting the opinion that viruses are not alive is that they
A) cause disease.
B) contain DNA or RNA.
C) are much smaller than bacteria.
D) do not have a cellular structure.

Which process allows bulky molecules to enter a cell?
polet [3.4K]

Endocytosis is the process by which Bulky Molecules enter the cell.

Explanation:

  • Endocytosis is the process by which eukaryotic cells take up large molecules into their cytoplasm.
  • The large molecules that cannot enter the cell through protein channels of the plasma membrane are carried into the cell in membrane bound vessicles.
  • The vessicles are formed by progressive invagination of the cell membrane and then pinching off after the molecule is trapped.
  • Endocytosis has been classified as phagocytosis (cell eating) and pinnocytosis(cell drinking).
