5 0

The correct answers are:

• Liver cells are abundant in SER.  

This is because liver cells contain enzymes that metabolize various lipid-soluble compounds.

• The testes and ovaries are tissue types whose cells are abundant in SER.

This is because testes and ovaries produce steroid hormones (cholesterol is the precursor for their synthesis).

• Cholesterol is made in the SER.  

ER is the organelle at which all membrane lipids are synthesized.

• Phospholipids are synthesized from cytosolic water soluble precursor molecules.  

Phospholipids are the main lipids that are the main structural components of the cell membrane. They are synthesized on the cytosolic side of the ER membrane, from water-soluble cytosolic precursors.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be A. The particle is a virus because it does not use energy and cannot reproduce by itself.  

Virus is defined as a small infectious agent that carry its own genetic material (DNA or RNA) but divides only in the living cells of other organisms (bacteria, human, animals, plants etc).

They are acellular in nature and thus are not able to reproduce on their own. They use the metabolism and machinery of the host cell in order to produce and assemble multiple copies of themselves in a cell.

They attach to the specific binding site of their target cells and inject their genetic material into the cell. The host cell's machinery is then used to replicate, transcribe and translate viral genetic material.

The viral genome produced are assembled in the protein cascade. They are then released by causing bursting of the infected cell.

What are viruses considered to be non-living?
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Viruses are often considered non-living because outside of a living cell, they do not exhibit the characteristics of living organisms: they are basically like crystals. But within a living organism, they become activated and are able to carry out life's activities like replication (a form of reproduction).
