How would you argue that viruses are not living things?

Biology
1 answer:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Well if your saying "NOT A LIVING THING" here is my thought

Explanation:

Virurses host to living things and cells, (think of venom the movie)  they infect  life forms, from animals and plants to microorganisms, including bacteria and archaea. Now your probably saying "wait that's an argument that viruses are a living thing," I just want to say the facts first.

My thought on viruses are not living things, viruses dont have blood or organs, nor a brain. Their like plants they feed off sun and water, then die after their seeds fall. In this case they find a animal feed off their organs and infect parts of the body. Then die after a bunch of other viruses go into the body, then pooped out and repeated. They wait for some thing to eat or touch ,then entering the body. They dont move just what ever they touch is infected. AND they dont create their own energy or wast.

Hope fully this will help. you can use this to put into your own words and take parts out of it.

does the presence of introns exons in eukaroytic cells provide more potentia diversity in gene products than is possible in pork
Leona [35]

Answer: Yes. Splicing can be done in different ways to yield different mRNAs wich will create different proteins. Prokaryotes are not able to do this.

Explanation:

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a molecule that contains the genetic information for synthesizing amino acids that form proteins. To do this, DNA must first be transcribed into RNA (ribonucleic acid) and this is the molecule used for protein synthesis (translation). The newly transcribed RNA (called primary messenger RNA) from DNA results in a very long molecule and also has regions that do not code for anything, called introns, which are removed by a process called splicing. Exons are segments in the RNA that do code for amino acids and remain in the mature mRNA after splicing.

<u>Splicing is a process by which introns are cleaved from the primary messenger RNA and exons are joined to generate mature messenger RNA.</u> In addition, alternative splicing occurs which allows different mRNA isoforms and thus different proteins to be obtained from a primary mRNA transcript. This is because the exons will be joined or spliced in different ways, giving rise to different mature messenger RNA sequences. This process occurs mainly in eukaryotes, although it can also be observed in viruses. But it does not take place in Prokaryotes (Bacteria).

In summary, exons/introns can be spliced together in different ways to yield different mRNAs sequences. Each different mRNA sequence will code for a different protein.

Which of the following is not normally filtered out of the blood in the kidney?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Your kidneys also remove acid that is produced by the cells of your body and maintain a healthy balance of water, salts, and minerals—such as sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium—in your blood. Without this balance, nerves, muscles, and other tissues in your body may not work normally.
