Answer:

The macromolecule that is a nucleic acid is D, an RNA molecule.

Explanation:

Being as both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, here is an explanation. DNA's structure is in the shape of a double-stranded helix while RNA's is structured as a single-stranded helix. DNA's backbone is made of the sugars deoxyribose and phosphate while RNA's backbone is made of the sugars ribose and phosphate. DNA also contains the bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine (adenine bonds with thymine and cytosine bonds with guanine) while RNA contains all said bases, except thymine is replaced with uracil (because of this change, the new bases pairings are adenine and uracil and still cytosine and guanine).

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

B) Viruses are killing some of his B cells and becoming incorporated into the genomes of others.

Explanation:

Epstein-Barr virus causes infectious mononucleosis by following mechanism.

1) Epstein-Barr virus attaches to and infects epithelium of the throat where it replicates and causes pharyngitis.

2) Virions enter the lymphoid vessels and are carried to the lymph nodes. Some virions escape the lymphnode trap and are carried to the bloodstream.

3) Virions attach specifically to B lymphocytes and infect them, producing either latent infection or productive infection.

4)The infected B lymphocytes actively replicate and differentiate into cells producing random immunoglobulins.

5)T cells respond to infection and destroy the lymphocytes replicating EBV vitus.

6) Latently infected B lymphocytes become immortal. They are not attacked by T cells.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Option B, increasing the number and size of mitochondria

Explanation:

Mitochondria (power house of a cell) produce energy. When no exercise is done, the productivity of mitochondria reduces but it increases with regular exercise. In fact aerobic training helps mitochondria in making more energy by enhancing its efficiency. With one cycle of exercise, mitochondria produce 32 ATPs. Aerobic exercise allows more of oxygen to get to the muscle cells, the faster it happens the more energy is produced  

Hence, option B is correct
