Viruses need a host because a host is just like the owner of the virus "business". think of it as a company. the company has a boss- aka the person who made the company (this is the host) and the boss also tells the employees (bacteria etc) what to do and how to do it. without the host, the virus will die. :)

Quiz Read the verse.
aleksley [76]

Answer:

B).  It will leave the next day.

Explanation:

The poem 'Raven' penned by Edgar Allan Poe explores the theme of regret, mental uncertainty, death, and lost love. In the given excerpt, the speaker asserts that 'On the morrow, he will leave me' for the Raven and becomes completely despaired. He becomes completely dejected thinking that 'tomorrow Raven will also leave(die)' like the 'other friends of him along with his hopes have flown(died) before.'

The speaker longed to see his love 'Lenore' in heaven again but this 'nevermore' from the bird makes him accept that the Raven(sense of loss and grief) will stay with him forever. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

What types of molecules can EASILY go through your cell membrane or are PERMEABLE to the cell membrane? What types of molecules
svet-max [94.6K]

Cell membranes serve as barriers and gatekeepers. They are semi-permeable, which means that some molecules can diffuse across the lipid bilayer but others cannot. Small hydrophobic molecules and gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide cross membranes rapidly.
