Biology
1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Both are acellular particles composed of generic material.

Explanation:

Viruses are infectious acellular particles of DNA or RNA packed in a capsid composed of proteins and lipids. Viruses are not cells and can’t reproduce of their own needing host cells for its reproduction.  Virions are very similar to virus, but virions are more simple particles than viruses. Virions are an acellular particle  composed of a naked shot strand of circular, single-stranded of RNA that don´t codify proteins, it only replicate the RNA. Virions cause damage to the host cell by interfering in the generic regulation of the host cell.

To sum up, virions and viruses are similar in structure, the difference lies in the complexity of the particle, being viroids more simple than viruses.

Which method do you think best represents energy flow through ecosystems? Why?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The circle of life, in which energy flows into the world from the sun, giving plants that energy to live.  All of the organisms in an ecosystem are chemical machines driven by the energy captured in photosynthesis. The organisms that first capture energy, the producers, include plants, some kinds of bacteria, and algae. All other organisms in an ecosystem are consumers.

The plants energy will then be transferred to a small animal, most likely a rabbit or maybe a mouse; depending on the plant. The small animal will then be eaten by a bigger more dominating animal like an eagle or a snake. It just goes on and on. The eagle or the snake will get eaten by a bigger animal or will decompose into the earth giving the soil and plants around it that same energy.

BOOM UR WELCOME SWEETIE :)
