Answer:

A. Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation.

B. Denaturants may affect the tertiary structure of prions.

C. Prions are proteins.

Explanation:

Prions are the proteinaceous infectious particles that cause many degenerative diseases of neurons in both animals and humans. They consist of only protein and no DNA or RNA. Due to the absence of DNA or RNA as genetic material, these infectious particles are resistant to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiations affect nucleic acids of pathogens to destroy them.

Denaturation of proteins affects their secondary and tertiary structures and leave them non-functional. Denaturation may be caused by changes in temperature, pH, disturbance of hydrogen bonds, etc. Therefore, to destroy prions, they need to be denatured.

4. Discuss the sense organs of cnidarians
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

To tell the truth I don't know what none of this stuff so I searched it up.

Explanation:

Cnidarian sense organs are thought to be exclusive to the medusa, a point we dispute subsequently. Nevertheless, the sense organs of the medusa are highly developed and distributed across Scyphozoa, Hydrozoa, and Cubazoa. In those hydrozoans with a medusa stage, many have eyes associated with the tentacle base.

Hope that is what you are looking for.

What's the best way to study for a final exam in 2 days??​
pshichka [43]
So people learn very differently and there is not a correct way to study. If you are a memory person then I would do flash cards. If you are a sports type person then I would say study while bouncing a ball. If your teacher lets you have music make a playlist and study while listening to it. Also if you make up rhymes or saying for things you are more likely to remember them. If you are artistic then draw pictures to help you remember certain things. Also peppermint helps you remember things. Lastly study before you go to bed and get at least 8 hours of sleep before the test. This will put what you studied into long term memory instead of short term. Lastly don’t stress to much because it’s harder to remember what you studied when stressed.
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAM!!
