Geography

Answer:

Viruses can replicate inside cells, while bacteria release toxins to destroy cells.

Explanation:

Viruses and bacteria are both considered microorganisms that can be pathogens. Bacteria are singled celled organisms, where as viruses are non-cellular. Therefore, viruses are sometimes considered non-living, or "on the edge of life"

Viruses consist of (at the minimum) a genome surrounded by a protein coat. To replicate, they have to insert their genome into a host cell. This is another reason they are sometimes considered non living.

In contrast, bacteria can release toxins but do not replicate inside cells.

Therefore, the answer is viruses can replicate inside cells, while bacteria release toxins to destroy cells.

Why are the earth’s polar regions cooler than the earth’s tropical (equatorial) regions?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

They receive less radiation from the sun, due to their orientation relative to incoming sunlight.

Explanation:

Earth has multiple different climate zones, roughly arranged by latitude. The difference in climates comes because of multiple factors, but the most important one is the Sun and the sunlight of it. Because Earth has a rounded shape, different parts of it receive different amounts of sunlight.

If we compare the tropical and polar regions as two contrasting regions, we can see huge differences. The tropical regions are warm or hot all year round, while the polar regions are very cold throughout all of the year. The tropical regions though receive sunlight at a much more direct angle, thus the sunlight is much more concentrated and heats up the region. The polar regions receive sunlight at a very low angle, so they are dispersing over a very wide area so they can not warm up the region.

johnny is seven years older then his little sister. let j represent jonny's age and s represent his sister
vampirchik [111]
Well to find this out you need to make an equation

s+7=j
So for example if Johnny's sister is 15 then Johnny would be 22 because
s(sister's age) +7(number of years difference between their ages)=22(Johnny's age)

Explanation:

The First wave of Immigration to the U.S. were mostly White, Protestant Europeans from Germany and England. The second wave of Immigration to the U.S. consisted of immigrants fleeing Eastern European and Mediterranean countries because of either religious reasons or economic reasons, this group of immigrants faced discrimination in the U.S. The third wave of immigration to the U.S. mainly consists of immigrants from Latin America and Eastern Asia. Immigration from Latin America has accelerated in the past 40 years due to decades of corruption and war that has been caused by American intervention in the region during the 70s and 80s.
