Prions A prion is a type of protein that can infect both people and animals by causing the brain's typically healthy proteins to fold improperly. Since prion are only proteins without any genetic material, their manner of action is very different from those of bacteria and viruses.

A prion is a type of protein that can infect both people and animals by causing the brain's typically healthy proteins to fold improperly.

Since prion are only proteins without any genetic material, their manner of action is very different from those of bacteria and viruses. Correctly folded proteins are changed into the disease-associated form once a misfolded prion enters a healthy person, possibly through the consumption of infected food. Nobody is exactly sure how this occurs as of yet.

How can protists exhibit both animal-like and plant-like characteristics?
Kay [80]

A heterotrophic and chlorophyll protist

Food is ingested by protists in three forms. We produce, eat and digest their own organic molecules. Meat ingestion or english bacteria ingests protists. The cell wall and cell membrane are stretched to create an alimentary vacuolum around the foodstuff. Enzymes extract the food inside the food vacuole. At the other side, absorbent protists consume food molecules through their cell membrane by diffusion. In decomposition, absorbent protists play a crucial role. They are assumed to be essential decomponents. Light energy is used to make your own food by big farmers including photosynthetic protists.

<u>Sensory</u> memory.

Explanation:

Sensory memory is the type of memory that stores information for a very brief period of time it is even shorter than the time period of  the short term memory.

Sensory memory helps the  brain to hold the effects  of a sensory stimulus for sometime  even after the stimulus has ceased. This helps in continuous perception and processing of data in the brain.

The  expression of continuous reading, writing and speaking are due to the existence of sensory memory.

If sensory memory does not function properly then, the synchronization of words and their understanding would have been impossible.
