QveST [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

HDV or hepatitis D virus refers to a virus, which needs hepatitis B virus for its replication. The HDV infection takes place concurrently or as super-infection with hepatitis B virus. About five percent of individuals with chronic HBV infection are co-infected with HDV, causing a sum of 15 to 20 million individuals infected with HDV globally.  

The co-infection of HDV-HBV is regarded to be the most extreme kind of chronic viral hepatitis because of the rapid cases of liver-associated death and hepatocellular carcinoma. The infection of hepatitis D can be prevented with the application of hepatitis B vaccines.

<span>Red blood cells normally have a biconcave shape (picture a donut, but instead of a hole through the centre there's just a downward slope to the centre of the cell). If the cell takes on water, it will increase in size and the sloped areas will start to flatten out. If the cell loses water, it will begin to shrivel. Use these observations and your understanding of osmosis to answer the question!</span>

What type of organisms was most likely feeding on this sample ?
jek_recluse [69]
I think Number C is right because Since the organism eukaryotic we can safely assume that it is neither an archaea nor a bacteria since they are both prokaryotes. Secondly, since it can not photosynthesize, it can't be a plant because all plants can photosynthesize. The presence of a cell wall tells us that it can't be an animal cell since they lack cell walls. Therefore, the organism found is a fungus-like protist. Fungi are prokaryotic cells that are unable to photosynthesize and they have cell walls.
