7 0
The choices are:
<span>A.  Matrix protein
B.  Hemagglutinin
C.  An ion channel
D.  Neuraminidase
</span>
The right answer is B. Hemaglutinin

Explanation:
Haemagglutinins are triangular rods. They allow the attachment of Influenzaviruses on the target cells of the respiratory tree. In the presence of red blood cells, a haemagglutination (liquid medium) is obtained.
<u>About the other components of Influenza virus:</u>Neuraminidase is a mushroom-shaped spike composed of a tetramer consisting of 4 subunits of a single glycoprotein. At 37 ° C, the neuraminidase destroys the bonds (virus - cells) and thus allows the release of neoformed virions in the external environment: it is elution.
The membrane protein M and the protein subunits of the nucleocapsid are antigenic and are the basis of the classification of Influenzavirus types A, B and C. They induce the synthesis of non-protective antibodies fixing the complement.

Plants use glucose to synthesize cellulose. Which statement accurately describes this process?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Sugar, which is a product of the photosynthetic process of green plants can be converted to glucose (a simple carbohydrate). Enormous amount of these glucose molecules can be linked together to form a complex carbohydrate called cellulose, which is a polysaccharide because it is made up of a long chain of glucose molecules. The cellulose is ultimately used to build the cell wall of plants.

Anabolism is the production of a complex molecule by a living organism from a much simpler one. Since, cellulose is produced by the building up of glucose molecules, the process can therefore, said to be anabolic

Why is the weight of an object more on Earth than on the Moon?
erma4kov [3.2K]
This happens if the object goes somewhere where gravity is stronger, or weaker, such as the Moon. The Moon has less mass than the Earth, so its gravity is less than the Earth's gravity. This means that objects weigh less on the Moon than they do on the Earth. The Moon's gravity is one sixth of the Earth's gravity. Hope this helps!
