Answer:

Viruses are often considered non-living because outside of a living cell, they do not exhibit the characteristics of living organisms: they are basically like crystals. But within a living organism, they become activated and are able to carry out life's activities like replication (a form of reproduction).

The plasma membrane is involved in which activities? Choose one or more:
Triss [41]

Answer:

1. import and export of nutrients and wastes

2. cell signaling

3. cell recognition

4. cell growth and motility

Explanation:

Plasma membranes are selectively permeable which means it only allows selective molecules to cross through it. So the plasma membrane helps in the import and export of nutrients by simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion or through active transport.

There are membrane protein embedded in the plasma membrane which have different role. Some help in cell signaling like GPCR, some help in cell recognition and some act and transporter proteins.

The plasma membrane is also responsible for cell growth and motility because it allow the raw materials and signals to pass through it which is required by the cell to metabolize and grow. So 1,2,3,4 is the correct answer.

What role do photosynthesis and respiration play in the distribution of gases in seawater?
nydimaria [60]

Answer and explanation;

-The most important life processes in the oceans or sea water are photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis by plants and  other lower organisms uses sunlight to convert CO2 and H2O to a carbohydrate compound; O2 is a by-product of that reaction. Respiration is the process that all organisms use to recover the chemical energy stored in organic compounds. O2 is used to oxidize organic matter and release chemical energy; CO2 and H2O are by-products.

-The rates of photosynthesis and respiration are nearly balanced.all of the organic matter produced by photosynthetic algae is respired by consumer and decomposing organisms.
