Viruses are not alive that is how they are different. They are not cells and don't use their energy to adapt to their surroundings.

Cerebrospinal Fluid

Produced by the choroid plexuses of the brain, the cerebral spinal fluid is contained in the subarachnoid cavity and spinal canal. It is reabsorbed by the arachnoid granulations.
Besides acting as a cushion for the CNS, the cerebral spinal fluid plays a critical part in the immunology of the central nervous system, blood flow in the CNS and autoregulation.

Which role do gametes play in reproduction?
Lesechka [4]
<span>C. Gametes are the sex cells, and each (sperm and ovum) contain half of the parent's genetic material. These cells will fuse to produce a zygote, which will usually contain the full number of genes required by an organism to live. If there is a chromosomal abnormality, such as a gamete with an extra chromosome, the offspring can either die in development or sometimes be born with physiological and/or developmental difficulties. An example of this phenomenon is trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, in which the 21st chromosome bears 3 copies instead of the regular 2.</span>

A neutron star collapses into a black hole because of the force of (fusion,gravity)
stealth61 [152]
Gravity

Neutron stars are the most extreme and fascinating objects known to exist in our universe: Such a star has a mass that is up to twice that of the sun but a radius of only a dozen kilometers: hence it has an enormous density, thousands of billions of times that of the densest element on Earth. An important property of neutron stars, distinguishing them from normal stars, is that their mass cannot grow without bound. Indeed, if a nonrotating star increases its mass, also its density will increase. Normally this will lead to a new equilibrium and the star can live stably in this state for thousands of years. This process, however, cannot repeat indefinitely and the accreting star will reach a mass above which no physical pressure will prevent it from collapsing to a black hole. The critical mass when this happens is called the "maximum mass" and represents an upper limit to the mass that a nonrotating neutron star can be.

However, once the maximum mass is reached, the star also has an alternative to the collapse: it can rotate. A rotating star, in fact, can support a mass larger than if it was nonrotating, simply because the additional centrifugal force can help balance the gravitational force. Also in this case, however, the star cannot be arbitrarily massive because an increase in mass must be accompanied by an increase in the rotation and there is a limit to how fast a star can rotate before breaking apart. Hence, for any neutron star, there is an absolute maximum mass and is given by the largest mass of the fastest-spinning model.
