Answer:
a. the virus must be able to cross-link red blood cells directly.
Explanation:
Viral hemagglutination assay is a method which is used for the quantification of the relative concentration of the viruses.
The principle on which the hemagglutination assay works is as follows:
- There are sialic acid receptors present on the surface of the red blood cells which will bind to the haemagglutinin glycoprotein present on the surface of the viral particle.
- Due to the binding of the sialic acid receptors with haemagglutinin particle there will be cross-linking of the red blood cells by the viral particles and a lattice formation will take place.
- The lattice will remain suspended in the solution however if the concentration of the virus particles will be less, the lattice will settle down in the well.
Thus, this method allows knowing the relative concentration of the virus.
<em>Due to its basic principle of cross-linking this method works well for only a few viruses such as influenza virus. </em>
Answer:
pyroclastic flow is a fast moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter that flows along the ground away from a volcano at high velocities.
Hotspot is volcanic regions thought to be fed by underlying mantle that is anomalously hot compared with the surrounding mantle
caldera-a large volcanic crater, especially one formed by a major eruption leading to the collapse of the mouth of the volcano.
tephra-rock fragments and particles ejected by a volcanic eruption
epicenter-the central point of something, typically a difficult or unpleasant situation
fault-an extended break in a body of rock, marked by the relative displacement and discontinuity of strata on either side of a particular surface
surface waves- mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media
body waves-A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves.

NADH and FADH2 are used in the next step of the aerobic respiration(electron transport chain) for their electrons, the energy they store in the electrons to be precise
Answer:
Hi there!
Your answer is:
It is very important for the cell membrane to be <em>semi-permeable</em> because the ability to pick and choose what comes in and out of the cell keeps the cell safe! The membrane can choose to block out nasty germs and can also choose to get rid of internal waste.
An example of when this is important is in this scenario:
Let's say the cells are in a really salty solution. Naturally, salt will want to pull the water out of the cell. If the membrane <u>wasn't</u><u> </u> semi permeable, the water would listen to the salt and leave the cell. This would cause cell death. <u>BECAU</u><u>SE</u> the membrane is semi permeable, they can choose <em>not</em> to give the salt any water, keeping them alive
Hope this helps
