Viruses are not considered living organisms because they lack some of the basic characteristics of life.

The cell is described as the smallest unit of life. Since viruses are not alive, we can infer that they do not contain one or more cells. Viruses have a protective protein coat, which can be considered a defined boundary.

Viruses are not capable of producing or using their own energy. They only activate when they come into contact with a host cell and then use the host cell's energy.

As per the pattern, viruses do not have internal organization nor metabolic processes which would allow for growth, therefore, viruses do not grow nor do they produce waste in any form.

The Osmosis Gizmo portrays a cell (red square) in a solution of purple solute particles dissolved in green solvent particles. Pr

Answer: The particles that can pass through the cell membrane are the GREEN SOLVENT PARTICLES.

Explanation:

OSMOSIS can be defined as the thermal movement of solvent (water molecules) through a selectively permeable or semi-permeable membrane from a region of high concentration of the solvent to one where they are in low concentration.

The cell is bound by a membrane called plasma membrane. This membrane is selectively permeable and allows water and certain dissolved solvents to pass through it. As a result, the plasma membrane of the cell regulates the movement of materials between the cell and it's environment.

From the osmosis gizmo, it portrays a typical example of osmotic reaction occuring between a cell immersed in a solution of purple solute particles dissolved in green solvent particles. In order to maintain an osmotic balance between the cell and the solution surrounding it, the solvent (which is the green solvent particles) will move from the region of higher concentration to a lower region through the cell membrane

The Sabin vaccine is a liquid containing weakened polio viruses. How do the weakened viruses protect vaccinated individuals agai

Masja [62]

Answer:

The weakened polio viruses will enter the blood stream after replicating in the intestine and this will trigger the immune response in the individual.

Explanation:

It should be noted that the sabin vaccine contains the weakened polio viruses which can also be referred to as the attenuated vaccine virus.

After the weakened or attenuated polio viruses have triggered the immune response , they are excreted after 8 weeks from the body.
