Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
There is an equilibrium that exists between the carbon dioxide in the air and the carbon dioxide in the oceans. The temperature of the water affects its ability to hold carbon dioxide.
Hence, as the global temperature continues to rise and the water becomes warmer, its ability to hold carbon dioxide decreases. When this happens, the gas exchange across the air-ocean boundary is affected. There is now too much CO2 in the atmosphere owing to the disturbance of its air- ocean exchange equilibrium leading to more rise in temperature due to global warming.
They increase the rate at which nutrients are absorbed.
Answer:
The correct answer is D. The outermost layer of a virion fullfills both protection and recognition functions of the virus.
Explanation:
A virion is a single viral particle. In this form the virus is physically isolable but without metabolic activity. Many virions can even be crystallized.
A virion, infecting a single host cell, is capable of producing thousands of descendants using the mechanisms of DNA replication, transcription and translation of the infected cell. This viral multiplication is often sufficient to kill the host cell by breaking it (lysandola).
Nucleic acid gives infectious power to the virion. It is enclosed by a protein wrap called capsid which is always formed by a number of individual proteins, called structural subunits. These subunits, associating in a specific way, form larger complexes called capsomeres. The set of nucleic acid and proteins is called the nucleocapsid of the virus, which can be enclosed by a membrane called pericapside envelope. Viruses without this membrane are called naked. Virus membranes are made up of a lipid bilayer, often associated with virus-specific proteins. The main function of the envelope is to help the virus enter the host cell. The surface glycoprotein serves to identify and bind to the receptor points in the host membrane. The viral envelope is then fused with the cell membrane, allowing the capsid and the viral genome to enter.
A step further down the evolutionary scale is the virino and below it the viroid and the prion; higher up is the virus.
Answer:
Let me count a few of the ways…
- Plants do not take life of any kind to sustain their own lives.
- Plants harvest atmospheric carbon dioxide (a waste product), water and sunlight (both ubiquitous and freely available) to produce within themselves the food which nourishes them.
- Plants are born and die in the same place.
- Plants have yet to start a war, perpetrate a genocide, or kill members of their own species over disagreements about mere ideas.
- When plants die, they do not entertain silly notions of a Better Place, somewhere beyond the stars.
