Biology
1 answer:
kumpel [21]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer will be option D.

Explanation:

The virus is the infective agents which are made up of assembled macromolecules like proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and carbohydrates.  

These are not considered as living organism as they do not possess the characters of a living cell like metabolism.

They are unable to do anything without a host cell that is it needs the machinery of the host cell to live like the replication machinery which is used by the virus to replicate inside the cell.

Thus, they are not considered living organisms and option D is the correct answer.

A bird species in danger of extinction has a population that is decreasing exponentially left parenthesis upper a equals upper a
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

This will happen in 39 years.

Explanation:

The population of the birds varies as A = A.e^kt

The population of birds fell from 1400 from 1000

Time it will take for the population to fall below 100 = x years.

when t = 0, population = 1400

t= 3; Population = 1000

Therefore:

1400 = 1000e^5k

e^5k= 1400/1000

k= (In 1.4)/5

we need to find x, such that

1400/1000= (e^xk)

14=(e^xk)

In(14) =kx

x= 5In(14)/In(1.4)

x= 39 years

melomori [17]
The substance that helps keep the integrity of the bacterial cell wall intact is known as the peptidoglycan. Others also refer to is it as murein or mucopeptide. The bacterial cell wall is necessary for survival because of the high internal pressure present inside of bacteria. Under normal conditions, if the cell wall is removed the bacterial cell will burst.

The peptidoglycan is a layer that can be used to distinguish gram positive bacteria from gram negative ones. G(+) bacteria have a thick layer of this while G(-) have a thinner ones.
