Answer:

Janet is watching an RNA virus.

Explanation:

Viruses are microorganisms classified according to their DNA or RNA nucleic acids. They are formed by a protein capsule, the capsids and, inside this, there is only DNA or RNA. Accordingly, we can say that Janet is observing an RNA virus under the microscope.

Some viruses are called enveloped because they have the capsid formed by a lipid membrane resulting from the invaded cell plasma membrane.  The capsule is also responsible for the specificity of the virus to adhere to certain cells, this is only possible because they have membrane proteins (receptors) that can fit into their proteins.

Answer:

The correct answer will be virus.

Explanation:

The virus is the infectious agents which cannot replicate themselves. these viruses contain a protein capsid surrounding the genetic material.

The genetic material in the virus could be DNA or RNA but do not have both as single-stranded or double-stranded forms.  

A virus with RNA are common in nature and an only a limited amount of RNA or DNA can fit a capsid and the capsid along with genetic material is known as the nucleocapsid.  

Since the specimens show RNA but not DNA it is a virus-like Ebola, polio, measles, therefore, the specimen is virus and is the correct answer.

Why would you probably not see a volcano on the east coast of the United States?
DerKrebs [107]

D. There are no major fault lines or hot spots close by.

Why?

Because "They don’t occur anywhere else other than along the Ring of Fire" is incorrect, the Ring of Fire is just a place where many volcanoes are.

Because "The composition of the rock in that area is not conductive to eruptions." they type of rock doesn't play that much of a role in the formation of volcanoes

Because "The magma doesn’t have enough silica or gas to form an explosive eruption." It isn't a gass that is found, it is the build up of pressure from fultlines moving and things on the inside of the earth.

<span>Cilia and flagella are made up of microtubules covered by plasma membrane and they projection from the cell. Thus, cilia are flagella are motile and designed to move substances over or around the cell and they can as well move the cell itself. In eukaryotes, they are conserved in their polypeptide composition, structure and function as motile and sensory organelles.</span>

What is the importance of decomposers to a food web an there interaction with quatinary consumers
mr Goodwill [35]
Decomposers eat dead remains of organisms that are quaternary consumer (no one eats them while alive). So, they break these down and therefore turn into nutrients in the soil for plants to use.
