Answer:

The correct answer is "receptors".

Explanation:

Virus infect and reproduce by recognizing specific receptors in their host cells. Virus-receptor binding is highly specific, this is the reason why some virus can infect only certain animals or plants at specific tissues. If the virus that causes avian flu attaches only to the cells of the lower part of the respiratory system, it is very likely that these cells have specific receptors that are not present in the upper part of the respiratory system, receptors that the viruses recognize.

please match the following nutritional types with the statements that most accurately describe them, to test your understanding
svetlana [45]

Autotroph: a creature that obtains its carbon from inorganic carbon dioxide

Chemotroph: an organism that obtains energy from chemical substances-Heterotroph: an organism that must receive its carbon in an organic form

Phototroph: an organism that produces energy from sunlight

The term "primary nutritional groups" refers to a category of creatures that are separated into subcategories based on the sources of carbon and energy that they require for survival, growth, and reproduction. Carbon can come from organic or inorganic sources, and energy can be derived from either light or chemical molecules. ATP, carbs, or proteins are used to store the liberated energy as potential energy. The energy is eventually put to use for activities essential to life, like movement, growth, and reproduction.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

B. a bowling ball

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation every body attracts another body by an amount of a force that is directly proportional  to the product of the two bodies' masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Knowing this then, it becomes clear that the body with the biggest mass will exert the greatest gravitational pull. From this list the ball with the biggest mass will be a bowling ball.
