Viruses and bacteria are both microscopic and can both cause disease. Viruses differ from bacteria in that all viruses are obligate parasites, which means they cannot live or survive independently, on their own, but have to live inside cells.

Viruses do not have organelles essential to life such as animal and plant cell have. A virus has no nucleus, no mitochondria, no Golgi apparatus, no endoplasmic reticulum and no ribosomes, therefore it cannot perform propagate itself.

Viruses invade cells and hijack the cell machinery to manufacture their own virus components. Once assembled together, these parts form new viruses which in cases causes the cell to die.

Which of the following outcomes is observed during Rabies virus pathogenesis?

Digiron [165]

Answer:

c) Negri bodies are a diagnostic sign of Rabies virus infection.

Rabies is an infection caused by rabies virus which affects the neurons and causes inflammation of the brain. It is a deadly disease and many animals are carriers of this disease like dogs, cats, raccoons, wolf, bats, fox, etc.

It is diagnosed by the presence of Negri bodies in the cytoplasm of nerve cells. Negri bodies are inclusions that are round or oval shapes having a size between 0.25 to 27 μm. Negri bodies can be frequently diagnosed in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum and pyramidal cells of Ammon’s horn.

Apart from these cells, they can be found in various ganglia, neurons of the tongue and other organs. So the correct answer is c.

Where does the H+ come from that makes ATP synthase work?

MissTica

Answer:

Chemiosmosis

Explanation:

The electrons from from NADH and FADH2 pass through the electron transport chain in the mitochondria, donating their electrons and generating a H+ buildup. This generates a proton pump to power ATP synthase. This process is called chemiosmosis.
