Compare and contrast viruses and cells. Explain a minimum of 4 similarities and/or differences.

1 answer:

4 0

The first difference is the size, cells are sized in micrometer (visible at optic microscope) and viruses in nanometer (electronic microscope).

Cells have both DNA and RNA, virus have only one genetic material (DNA or RNA).

Cells have always a membrane, not all the viruses have a membrane, but all of them have capsids in different forms.

Viruses cannot live on their own, they have to parasite a cell to proliferate. Cells can live by themselves and proliferate by scissiparity (divisions).

Cells have ribosomes to translate their RNA. viruses don't (they use the infected cells' ribosomes).

Try reducing the level of fossil fuel percentage increase and decrease deforestation by 1 GT per year. Predict what will happen

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: The atmosphere can handle almost 700 billion tons of carbon in it. The carbon levels are increasing due to industrial revolution.

Explanation:

The overload of the emission of carbon in the atmosphere surprised me. The data was recorded and investigated for 2000 to 2100. Different parameters like ocean water and fossil fuel. The fossil fuel when burn contribute to the release of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gas. The oceanic water release the decomposed carbon dioxide by calcium carbonate of coral reefs and respiration of aquatic animals.
