Answer:

Bacteriophages are attaching to bacterial cell wall and injecting genetic material.

Explanation:

Bacteriophage:

A bacteriophage (bacteria eater) is a type of virus that infects bacteria. Bacteriophages are composed of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed in a protein shell or capsid.

Following are steps of bacteriophage infection:

  1. Bacteriophage attaches to cell surface receptors on the surface of the bacterium.
  2. Depending upon the type of phage, the bacteriophage either injects its DNA or RNA into the bacterium or enters as a whole. In this image, the bacteriophage T4 is represented which injects its genetic material into the host cell.
  3. The phage's genetic material hijacks the cellular machinery of the host and replicates itself within the host.
  4. After replication, the phages burst open the bacteria cell and are released. This is called the lytic cycle of bacteriophage infection.
  5. In another type of infection cycle, called the lysogenic cycle, the bacteriophage genome gets incorporated into the host genome, known as a prophage. This prophage lies dormant.

* The second step of the infection cycle is pictured here.

Answer:

Geo thermal : Nuclear reactions

Bio mass : plants

Solar : sun rays

Hydro power : Water

Explanation:

Geothermal energy is also used to directly heat individual buildings and to heat multiple buildings with district heating systems. Hot water near the earth's surface is piped into buildings for heat. A district heating system provides heat for most of the buildings in Reykjavik , Iceland.

The major biomass sources currently used are sugar cane and corn to produce bioethanol , and rapeseed for biodiesel production. Other sources are also used such as sunflower seeds, soybean, canola, peanuts, jatropha , coconut and palm oil for biodiesel, and wheat, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and cassava for bioethanol

Conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity

Hydropower or water power is power derived from the energy of falling or fast-running water, which may be harnessed for useful purposes.

exis [7]
Vestigial traits are adaptations to environmental pressures which are no longer present.

homologous structures are similar structures found in different species that were present in a common ancestor.

analogous traits are similar traits found in different species that were developed independently (this process is known as convergent evolution)
