Viruses are considered to be non-living pathogens for which reason?

Biology

disa [49]2 years ago
7 0

Viruses are considered to be non-living pathogens due to their lack of metabolic processes. Therefore, option (C) is correct.

<h3>What is a virus?</h3>

Viruses are complex assemblages of molecules that include proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates; but, on their own, they are unable to perform any function and must first infect a living cell in order to become active. There would be no possibility of viral reproduction if cells did not exist. Consequently, viruses do not qualify as living beings.

Viruses are not alive because they do not have any of the essential components that are present in living beings. These components include cytoplasm and organelles. They are unable to carry out the duties of the cell such as metabolism and homeostasis.

Explain the basic steps in the first half of photosynthesis (light-dependent reactions). Describe the movement of electrons and
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight by utilizing carbon-dioxide and water and produces oxygen and energy.

The process of photosynthesis has two types of reactions: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions.

The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts in which plants use light energy to form ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH.

In this reaction, photosystem II (P700) absorbs lights energy and passed it to reaction center. this energy is then is transferred to photosystem I (P680), that pump an electron to a high energy level. The high-energy electron then travel to an electron transport chain and releases energy. this released energy pump H+  ions into the thylakoid interior from the stroma and build a gradient  H+ ions move through gradient and they pass through ATP synthase resulting in the formation of ATP.

The higher energy electron as moves into an electron transport chain, the electron is passed to NADP+ to form NADPH.
