Sustainability is a word that is very difficult to define as it is in constant discussion and used with multi-dimensional purposes. In the most colloquial language it is used to refer to the decisions, actions and dispositions to cover the present needs without leaving out the future generations. In other words it deals with a responsible use of resources in order to maitain them over the years. As the industrial era has passed, humans have realized that most of the resources, although renewable, are desapearing because they do not have time to finish their renovation process. Sustainability deals with the decisions that need to taken in order to assure the supply and standar of life over the next decades.

What are some of the concerns associated with our increasing population and consumption of resources?
Ugo [173]

Explanation:

As human population increases the rate of consumption of resources also increases. Economists postulates that available resources with which to satisfy our unlimited wants as a population is highly limited.

  • Increase in population leads to an increasing pressure on available resources such as freshwater, land, air, energy e.t.c.
  • Increasing population easily leads to deforestation. Deforestation is the loss of forest. Forest trees are used in construction of houses and industries. Forests also takes up space and they might have to be plundered to make way for new buildings. Eventually, the forest will be lost.
  • Decrease in standard of living: increasing population will lead to a low standard of living. Resources meant to accommodate a certain number of people will no longer be sufficient for them.
  • High poverty rate; if population continues to rise, the rate of poverty will increase too. There will be limited resources to cater for the well being of the populace as a whole.

Which of these requires a host cell to copy its genetic material and protein coat?
svet-max [94.6K]

The virus' DNA becomes a part of the host cell's DNA, and every time the host cell copies and divides, it also copies viral DNA. The viral DNA may remain inactive (a provirus) for a long time, but it can become active when it frees itself from the host's chromosome, which triggers the lytic cycle.

I forget which one is the virus' DNA
