This is because the primary function of this stage is the fixation of carbon. which involves making simple sugars from carbon dioxide and water. It involves addition of inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) to an organic molecule or molecules by plants, this occurs during the light independent stage reaction of photosynthesis and is the first step in the Calvin cycle.
Little to no agitation I’m pretty sure
Decreasing enzyme binding affinity by blocking the active site.
The 7 (sometimes 8) characteristics of life are:
1. living things are composed of cells
2. living things have different levels of organization
3. living things metabolize (i.e. use energy)
4. living things respond to their environment
5. living things grow
6. living things reproduce
7. living things adapt to their environment
(some sources include) 8. living things have genetic material
Viruses do not metabolize, they do not grow, they do not adapt to their environment, and they cannot reproduce independently; viruses require host cells to reproduce and perform the other functions that give them the appearance of aliveness.
