Answer/Explanation
Characteristics of Life Present in Viruses:
- has a defined boundary - viruses are made up simply of genetic material surrounded by a<u> protein capsid </u>and sometimes a lipid membrane
Characteristics of Life Absent in Viruses:
- made up of one or more cells - one of the main arguments for why viruses are not living is that they are <u>not cellular</u>
- uses energy - this is a tricky one. They don't use or produce their own energy. However, in order to reproduce they do hijack the host cells and <u>steal energy</u> from them in order to reproduce
- exhibits growth and development - although viruses do <u>reproduce</u>, the individual viral particles do not exhibit growth or development
- possess internal organisation - other than the fact they ahve genetic material, the inside of a virus does not contain internal organization like a cytosol, instead conssiting of the bare minimum amount of proteins to survive
- eliminates waste - since they do not have their own metabolism, they have no waste to eliminate
Answer:
Explanation:
The period law state that when elements are listed in order of their atomic numbers, the elements fall into recurring groups, so that there is a recurrence of similar properties at regular intervals.
Na and K in the periodic table fall into the same group, this is because they both have one electrons in their outermost shell.
Na 11 -1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
K 19 - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
They share similar chemical and physical properties. Na and K are very reactive metals, they can loose/donate their outermost electron to non metals in other to attain stable octet state.
The form ionic compound when they react with non metals.
Answer:
Explanation:
The melting of the chocolate pieces one by one showed that it was caused by heat flowing through the foil bridge. The transfer of heat happened between the foil bridge and the chocolate pieces because they were touching each other.
Answer:
W = - 500 KJ
∴ the work is done on the system
Explanation:
isothermal system:
∴ ΔU = 0; ⇒ Q = W
∴ W = P1V1 -P2V2
⇒ W = ((100KPa)*(25m³)) - ((300KPa)*(10m³))
⇒ W = 2500KPa.m³ - 3000KPa,m³
⇒ W = - 500 KPa.m³ = - 500 KJ
∴ W (-) the work is done on the system
Well, I think it's mainly for photosynthesis and gas exchange. A leaf is normally flat, light, and thin, so that the sunlight can get to the chloroplasts in the cells.
