A virus is a tiny organism and may lead to mild-severe illnesses in animals or plants or humans.

Biologically we can term virus as a bit of RNA or DNA in a protein coat. It cannot replicate without another organism.

If we use an image of indicator, we may say yes virus is living. This is because the virus particle is non-cellular but has an NDA core.This core is enclosed in a protein coat and it has spike-like projections in all over its surface.

Suppose you have identified a type of lizard that seems to have acquired a mutation in which hindlimbs are absent. Which gene, a
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Sonic Hedgehog.

Explanation:

Sonic hedgehog is a secreted protein that in humans is encoded by the SHH gene. It is the best studied ligand of the hedgehog signaling pathway, others being desert hedgehog (DHH) and Indian hedgehog (IHH). It plays a key role in the development of animals, from insects to mammals. In vertebrates, it is involved in organogenesis, including the growth of digits on limbs and the organization of the brain.

Sonic hedgehog has also been shown to act as an axonal guidance cue. It has been demonstrated that SHH attracts commissural axons at the ventral midline of the developing spinal cord. Specifically, SHH attracts retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons at low concentrations and repels them at higher concentrations

Think about all of the figures that illustrate tracheids. What are the functions for tracheids? How can you identify a tracheid
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The tracheids have important functions in the plant.

Explanation: The mechanical support is provided by the lignified walls of tracheid cell. the helps in other functions of the plant such as transporting water and getting the solute from the root to the stem and eventually the leaf of the plant.

The tracheids are most useful in the gymnosperms where elements need to be transported.

Identifying a tracheid in a cross section is quire easy as the tracheid cells fit into each other neatly and piled up similarly and have identical shapes as well which makes them obvious from other cells.              

The two examples of tracheid plans could be

  • pteridophytes
  • gymnosperms  

The most common thing that could be found in traceid plant is that this cells are mainly present for transporting either water other solutes in the plant body.

Compare and contrast the extracellular matrix of animals and the cell wall of plants. Consider their functions and the types of
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The plant cell wall is strengthened by the molecular structure of cellulose. Cellulose is made up of ß-glucose arranged upside down, this arrangement aided hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen ions of the  hydroxyl group and oxygen of the of the ring   of same  betta -glucose.

The aggregation of the hydrogen  bonds give bundles of  strong tensile  strength of cellulose called the  microfibrils (of 60-70 celluose molecules).They are  held together in bundled called fibers.T<u>hese is the source of  plant cell walls  strength. </u>

<u />

Collagen is the main extracellur matrix (EM) in animal cells.It is a glycoprotein made up of 25%of body protein of animals.Each collagen molecule is made of helix shaped ,three polypeptide chains, wound around each other to form<u> triple helix.</u>The bonds  holding helix together are hydrogen and covalent bonds.

Each triple helix is attached to adjacent collagen molecule, parallel  to it. The covalent bonds formed a cross link which held  the collagen molecules together forming FIBRILS.  This gives flexibility to collagen, while maitaing strong tensile strength. This is what is responsible for the structural strength of cell membrane .

.The  EM,is  futher reinforced with  carbohydrate molecules(proteoglycans) which<u> aided in water movements by  osmosis following  sodium movements into the matrix.</u>

Which habit would have the least variation in its salinity
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Mangrove forest

Explanation:

Mangrove forest exist only in high saline environment. Lake is a closed type body of water so it is expected with the least variation of salinity.
