In short, Cellular Respiration can be considered spontaneous because it releases energy (negative enthalpy) and becomes disordered(positive entropy) 

A spontaneous reaction is a decrease in enthalpy ans an increase in entropy. 
Entropy is energy release from a system when an event takes place. 

The purpose of cellular respiration is to release energy from glucose so that organisms can use that energy.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This statement is true. Medical researchers at Harvard and Stanford universities found that leading a sedentary lifestyle (sedentary meaning minimal exercise with little movement) leads to a higher risk of health complications (which can be more prevalent in older age).

This finding strongly recommends that middle-aged people should undertake some form of regular exercise so as to not fall into the category of "sedentary".

Describe how the structure of a virus aids in its ability to infect cells.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Virulence factors of virus aids in its ability to infect cells.  

Explanation:

Virulence factors help pathogenic microbes to infect host cells by virulence mechanisms – invade host, cause and spread disease, evade the defense or immune mechanism of the host. These factors makes the virus to grow, replicate, and modify the host cells due to its toxicity.  

Viruses binds to the receptor protein of the host cell.

Different types of virulent factors are: invasion factors, adhesive or adherent factors, capsules, endo and exotoxins, etc.  

The virulence factors decides the severity and rate of spread of an infection
