Answer:

Invasive species, also called introduced species, alien species, or exotic species, any nonnative species that significantly modifies or disrupts the ecosystems it colonizes. Such species may arrive in new areas through natural migration, but they are often introduced by the activities of other species. Human activities, such as those involved in global commerce and the pet trade, are considered to be the most common ways invasive plants, animals, microbes, and other organisms are transported to new habitats.

Most introduced species do not survive extended periods in new habitats, because they do not possess the evolutionary adaptations to adjust to the challenges posed by their new surroundings. Some introduced species may become invasive when they possess a built-in competitive advantage over indigenous species in invaded areas. Under these circumstances, new arrivals can establish breeding populations and thrive, especially if the ecosystem lacks natural predators capable of keeping them in check. The ecological disruption that tends to follow such invasions often reduces the ecosystem’s biodiversity and causes economic harm to people who depend on the ecosystem’s biological resources. Invasive predators may be so adept at capturing prey that prey populations decline over time, and many prey species are eliminated from affected ecosystems. Other invasive species, in contrast, may prevent native species from obtaining food, living space, or other resources. Over time, invading species can effectively replace native ones, often forcing the localized extinction of many native species. Invasive plants and animals may also serve as disease vectors that spread parasites and pathogens that may further disrupt invaded areas.Invasive species are capable of causing extinctions of native plants and animals, reducing biodiversity, competing with native organisms for limited resources, and altering habitats. This can result in huge economic impacts and fundamental disruptions of coastal and Great Lakes ecosystems.

Answer: 1. smallpox.

the common cold and different types of flu.

measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, and shingles.

hepatitis.

herpes and cold sores. 2. Most notably, viruses differ from living organisms in that they cannot generate ATP. Viruses also do not possess the necessary machinery for translation, as mentioned above. They do not possess ribosomes and cannot independently form proteins from molecules of messenger RNA. 3. All viruses contain nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA (but not both), and a protein coat, which encases the nucleic acid. Some viruses are also enclosed by an envelope of fat and protein molecules. In its infective form, outside the cell, a virus particle is called a virion. 4.

In its infective form, outside the cell, a virus particle is called a virion. 5. A bacteriophage is a virus that attacks bacterial cells. The lytic and lysogenic cycles are two methods of viral replication. In the lytic cycle, the virions produced are released from the host cell whereas in the lysogenic cycle, viral nucleic material are incorporated into host nucleic material and are copied to daughter cells when the host cell reproduces. The common steps in both cycles are given below:

1  Attachment – in this step, the bacteriophage attaches itself to the surface of the host cell so as to insert its DNA into the host cell.

2. Penetration – the virus inserts its DNA into the host cell by penetrating the cell membrane of the host cell.

3. Replication – the viral nucleic material is replicated using the host cell's replication mechanism. 6. Host range is determined by the presence of receptors on the cell's surface. Viruses attach only single species and some attack only particular types of cells within a plant or animal. brainliest?

While viewing a water sample under a microscope, you observe a single cell. Which of the following observations could you use to
igomit [66]

Answer:

<u>E.  The cell's DNA is encapsulated in a nucleus.</u>

Explanation:

There are no membrane bound organelles present in a prokaryotic cell. Nucleus is a membrane bound organelle so it is absent in a Prokaryotic cell so it is an evidence that cell is Eukaryotic cell.

While other features mentioned in the question are common both in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell.
