Answer:

A. whether the glycoproteins or capsid proteins on its surface recognize those of the host cells.

Explanation:

Virus has different surface proteins that are recognized by the receptors present on its host cell. The range of a virus is determined by the recognition of these proteins by the host cell.

The interaction between the receptor on the host cell and surface proteins on the viral capsid is important for viral genome entry in the host cell and to determine the range of the host cells.

If the surface protein of the virus is not able to bind to the receptor on any cell then the virus can not infect the cell. For example, the HIV virus infects only those cell which have CD4 receptors. So the right answer is A.

Does human intervention affect small-scale ecosystems differently than large-scale ecosystems?
sdas [7]

Answer: No

According to <u><em>BBC</em></u>, Human activities such as harvesting plants and hunting animals can unbalance the flows and cycles within those [SMALL SCALE ECOSYSTEMS ]ecosystems. Tree-felling may lead to soil erosion and a loss of habitat. Lack of shade and moisture in the soil can result in desertification.

According to <u><em>National Geographic</em></u>, Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water.

The zinc chloride produced by the reaction is in what state
ANEK [815]

Answer: Solution in Water

Explanation:

I believe this refers to the reaction between Zinc and Hydrochloric acid.

When this happens, the solution will be Zinc Chloride but as it happened in a solution (the acid), the resulting Zinc Chloride salt would be in aqueous form which means that it would be a solution in water which is the other product of this reaction.

Had the zinc reacted with gaseous HCI, it would have resulted in a Zinc Chloride with no liquid in it.

What is cotransport? Explain how understanding it is used in our treatment of diarrhea.​
qaws [65]

Answer:

In cotransport, a single ATP-powered pump that transports a specific solute drives the active transport of several other  solutes. Normally, sodium in waste is reabsorbed in the colon, maintaining constant levels in the body, but diarrhea  expels waste so rapidly that re-absorption is not possible, and sodium levels fall precipitously. To treat this life threatening condition, patients are given a solution to drink containing high concentrations of salt and glucose. The  solutes are taken up by sodium-glucose cotransporters on the surface of intestinal cells and passed through the cells into  the blood. This simple treatment has lowered infant mortality worldwide.

Polystyrene is a good insulator as it has small air bubbles trapped inside of it. This means heat energy cannot flow through them therefore it is an effective material for keeping honeybees warm in the winter. Hope this helps :)
