Yes they should be viewed as nonliving. Because viroids are just like viruses without protein coats. They are similar to viruses excepte the protein coat. And prions are like malfunctioned proteins. They cause diseases too but they are non-living too. Because they too, don't have any metabolics reactions.

Which of the following experiments would be considered unethical?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

C. Taking blood samples from patients for research purposes

without consent

Explanation:

Generally, providers may not render medical services without the patient’s consent, unless performance of emergency, lifesaving care is necessary. Taking samples from a patient is a type of medical service; thus, state consent laws apply. In addition, providers may not disclose PHI without patient authorization.

It depends on the definition of unethical being used, however I think I am right. I'm in AP bio currently. Let me know what the answer is :)

Does the data support or refute the hypothesis
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

If however, the data does not support the hypothesis or refutes it, then the hypothesis is in trouble, and we have to come up with a different hypothesis to explain the observations. If a large body of data supports the hypothesis, then it becomes a theory.

A number of marine reptiles and birds have salt glands, which have a remarkable ability to concentrate salt solutions for excret
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

A)100mL  B)50mL  C)The second option  D)Hypoosmotic Environment

Explanation:

The average Na concentration in the seas and oceans of the world is around 3,5% which mean that in 100 ml of sea water, there is around 3,5 grams of Na.

The weight of one mol of NaCl is 58,44 grams. For 3,5 grams of NaCl, we get 3,5/58,44 = 0,060 mol of NaCl which is 0,060x1000 = 60 mmol/100ml. According to this and the information given in the question about the secretion of the salt glands', if the average sodium concentration is 600mmol/L, we have 60*10 = 600mmol/L so it would take 100 mililiters of water to excrete.

If the average Na concentration of the salt gland's secretion were 300 mmol/L, only 50 mililiters of water would be needed to excrete the same sodium load.

The second option of secretion is hyperosmotic to seawater because the concentration is higher.

Osmoregulation is the process of balancing the amount of water and salt between the body of the organism and its surrounding environment. For salt glands to be advantageous for osmoregulation, they need to be in a hypoosmotic environment.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:

Zinc. (Ans. B)

Explanation:

Trace minerals: Trace minerals are defined as the inorganic molecules which are necessary for the human body for the different functions.

Zinc function in human metabolism is defined as a cofactor for numerous enzymes. Zinc play a role as a catalyst in a broad range of reactions. It is involved in the metabolic pathway directly or indirectly with lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, energy metabolism, and they are also important for the cell division process.

They also need for tissue and growth repair, and for reproductive development also. It's also played a vital role in immune system such as wound healing or required for the function and structure of the skin.
