Why might the knoblike proteins on the outer surface of hiv hold a key to the production of a vaccine against aids?

Biology
1 answer:
Nataly_w [17]3 years ago
4 0

This is because the GP120 protein of the HIV virus that forms the ‘knob’ is essential for the infection of CD4 cells of the immune system by the virus. The glycoprotein is, therefore, a good target for vaccines especially since the molecule is highly conserved because most mutations in the region could be highly deleterious to the virus.

Which method do you think best represents energy flow through ecosystems? Why?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The circle of life, in which energy flows into the world from the sun, giving plants that energy to live.  All of the organisms in an ecosystem are chemical machines driven by the energy captured in photosynthesis. The organisms that first capture energy, the producers, include plants, some kinds of bacteria, and algae. All other organisms in an ecosystem are consumers.

The plants energy will then be transferred to a small animal, most likely a rabbit or maybe a mouse; depending on the plant. The small animal will then be eaten by a bigger more dominating animal like an eagle or a snake. It just goes on and on. The eagle or the snake will get eaten by a bigger animal or will decompose into the earth giving the soil and plants around it that same energy.
