The correct answer is D: I and II only.
Viruses have protein capsids, which protect their genetic material. This capsid sometimes is covered by viral envelopes which have glycoproteins on their surface. Glycoproteins help in the process of binding to the host cell and infecting it. In this example, virus III has the structure of a bacteriophage and it does not seem to have glycoproteins. Bacteriophages use their tail fibers to attach to the bacterial host and inject their genetic material. On the contrary, viruses I and II have glycoproteins sticking out of their envelopes.

The viruses labeled with I and II in the picture presented below have a viral envelope, an outer layer of the viral particle that contains various glycoproteins.
These structures on the envelope are key factors in virus-cell recognition and viral infection of the cell.

A cell whose cytoplasm has a concentration of 0.02 mo lar glucose is placed in a test tube of water containing 0.02 molar glucos

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Isotonic

Explanation:

If the solute concentration of the cell and that of its surrounding medium are the same there will be no net flow of water in either directions. In this case, the external solution is said to be isotonic to the cell.

Both the cytoplasm concentration and the glucose in the test tube are the same.

Match the descriptions of the stages of the act of hearing with the correct stage order.

Nana76 [90]

Stage 1 - The ear collects compression waves.
Stage 2 - The ear amplifies the compression waves.
Stage 3 - The amplified waves stimulate the hair cells of the ear.
Stage 4 - The hair cells transmit nerve impulses to the brain
Stage 5 -The brain interprets the nerve impulses.

Hope this helps!

Describe the role of energy in the water cycle in which plants transfer water to the atmosphere

goldenfox [79]

Solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration. Plants put down roots into the soil to draw water and nutrients up into the stems and leaves. Some of this water is returned to the air by transpiration (when combined with evaporation, the total process is known as evapotranspiration).
