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.

subluxation.

Explanation:

Subluxation is the partial displacement of a bone from its joint.

Dislocation is complete displacement of a bone from its joint.

Compare and contrast the extracellular matrix of animals and the cell wall of plants. Consider their functions and the types of
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The plant cell wall is strengthened by the molecular structure of cellulose. Cellulose is made up of ß-glucose arranged upside down, this arrangement aided hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen ions of the  hydroxyl group and oxygen of the of the ring   of same  betta -glucose.

The aggregation of the hydrogen  bonds give bundles of  strong tensile  strength of cellulose called the  microfibrils (of 60-70 celluose molecules).They are  held together in bundled called fibers.T<u>hese is the source of  plant cell walls  strength. </u>

<u />

Collagen is the main extracellur matrix (EM) in animal cells.It is a glycoprotein made up of 25%of body protein of animals.Each collagen molecule is made of helix shaped ,three polypeptide chains, wound around each other to form<u> triple helix.</u>The bonds  holding helix together are hydrogen and covalent bonds.

Each triple helix is attached to adjacent collagen molecule, parallel  to it. The covalent bonds formed a cross link which held  the collagen molecules together forming FIBRILS.  This gives flexibility to collagen, while maitaing strong tensile strength. This is what is responsible for the structural strength of cell membrane .

.The  EM,is  futher reinforced with  carbohydrate molecules(proteoglycans) which<u> aided in water movements by  osmosis following  sodium movements into the matrix.</u>
