Answer:

The drugs that destructs capsid would ultimately results in the destruction of virus's genetic material and inhibits the replication of virus.

Explanation:

A protective coating of viruses, formed of proteins is termed as a capsid. The prime activity of capsid is to safeguard the genetic substance of viruses from nuclease enzymes and to offer attachment with the host cell. Thus, if a drug has an application in damaging viral capsid, the genetic substance would get dissociated by digested enzymes and virus will lose the tendency to proliferate and infect the host cells.

Answer:

The amount of biomass that is produced in an area during a given time is referred to as primary production/productivity.

<h3>What is biomass?</h3>
  • Renewable organic material obtained from plant and animal sources if referred to as biomass.
  • Primary productivity is the production of organic compounds through the process of photosynthesis, with the help of solar energy.
  • Primary productivity is measured as biomass produced per unit area over a give time period
  • It is usually expressed either in weight or energy.
  • There are two ways to express primary productivity:

a) Gross Primary Productivity(GPP): Takes into account the total energy produced in the ecosystem.

b) Net primary Productivity(NPP): Takes into account, solely the energy used by the producer for respiration.
