Answer : 5 places and the decimal moves to the left side when we are converting the number from centimeters to kilometers.

Explanation :

That means, when the power of 10 is negative then the decimal moves to the left side.

The conversion used from centimeter to kilometer is:

1 centimeter = 0.00001 kilometer

Or, we can written as:

1 centimeter = 10^{-5} kilometer

From this we conclude that, when the power of 10 is negative then the decimal moves to the left side.

For example : 5 cm = 0.00005 km

Hence, 5 places and the decimal moves to the left side when we are converting the number from centimeters to kilometers.

Centimetres to metres is 1: 100 meaning there are 100 centimetres in 1 metre
1 cm = 0.01m (the decimal point moves 2 spaces to the left)
metres to kilometres is 1: 1000 meaning there are 1000 metres in 1 kilometre
1 m = 0.001m (the decimal point moves 3 spaces to the left)
so, centimetres to kilometres would be 1cm = 0.00001km (the decimal point moves 5 sources to the left)

Why can’t a virus reproduce on its own?
monitta

Answer:

<h3>Viruses can only replicate themselves by infecting a host cell and therefore cannot reproduce on their own.</h3>

<h3>At the most basic level, viruses consist of genetic material contained within a protective protein coat called a capsid; the existence of both genetic material and protein distinguishes them from other virus-like particles such as prions and viroids.</h3>

<h3>They infect a wide variety of organisms: both eukaryotes (animals, fungi and plants) and prokaryotes (bacteria).</h3>

<h3>A virus that infects bacteria is known as a bacteriophage, often shortened to phage.</h3>

<h3>The study of viruses is known as virology, and those who study viruses are known as virologists.</h3><h3 /><h3>It has been argued extensively whether viruses are living organisms.</h3>

<h3>Most virologists consider them non-living, as they do not meet all the criteria of the generally accepted definition of life.</h3>

<h3>They are similar to obligate intracellular parasites as they lack the means for self-reproduction outside a host cell, but unlike parasites, viruses are generally not considered to be true living organisms.</h3>

<h3>A primary reason is that viruses do not possess a cell membrane or metabolise on their own - characteristics of all living organisms.</h3>

<h3>Examples of common human diseases caused by viruses include the common cold, the flu, chickenpox and cold sores.</h3>

Veseljchak [2.6K]

1Answer:

The correct answer is - D. how changes in biodiversity impact an ecosystem.

Explanation:

The water hyacinth is an invasive plant species that rapidly grows and creates a thick layer over the water surface in almost every aquatic ecosystem. The growth of the layer of this species causes problems to the environment, ecosystem, humans, and other species.

These aquatic plants reduce the oxygen level and other nutrients from the ecosystem it is introduced and affect the biodiversity by increasing heavy metals and contaminants.

The layer of this plant inhibits photosynthesis that decreases sugar and energy production and blocks the boat and ship movements and economically as well.
