Answer:

Yes. It's alive.

Explanation:

According to the characteristics of life, for something to be considered a living being, it needs to be able to reproduce, evolve, present metabolism, respond to stimuli, possess cells and have genetic material.

A bush in my yard has all these characteristics, since this bush is a vegetable, which indicates that it has cells and genetic material, which can be passed on to its descendants through the production of gametes for reproduction. In addition, this plant goes through the process of photosynthesis (metabolism), responds to stimuli (grows towards sunlight) and evolves through time.

The secondary structure of proteins results because of _____ bonding between molecules in the protein molecules' backbone.
topjm [15]

Answer:

Hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

The newly synthesised proteins as a result of the process of translation are linear structures formed by linear arrangement of amino acids.

The linear structure of a protein is known as the primary structure which changes its conformation and take the shape of either the helix or the pleated sheet. This helical or pleated sheet structure is known as a secondary structure.

The secondary structure is formed due to the bond formed between the hydrogen of the carbonyl group and the amino group which form the backbone of the protein structure. The hydrogen bond causes the linear polypeptide to form spiral helical or bend pleated sheet.

Thus, Hydrogen bonding is the correct answer.

Describe how the SARS-CoV-2 virus affects your cells.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

SARS- CoV- 2 is a virus that infects human by the oral-respiratory way in which the virus enters the body and these viruses have spikes on their surface made of spike proteins that allow these viruses to bind with the infected cell.

The infected cells have ACE2 receptor that is protein present on the surface of the human cells. Binding allows the structural change in the virus to fuse and enter in the cell where viruses reproduce them selves with the cell with cell system.
