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.

sasho [114]

Answer: The correct answer is: C The are the same except osmosis specifically and only involves water.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process in which a solvent moves across a semipermeable membrane in order to dilute a concentrated solution and it ends up equalizing the concentration of the solution at both sides of the cell membrane.

On the other hand, diffusion occurs when particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration and it ends up equalizing the concentration.

So the main difference is the presence/ Lack of water in the processes.

In conclusion the correct answer is : C.

Which form of natural selection does a graph repeat
Nookie1986 [14]
May i have choices but <span>Natural selection can take many forms. To make talking about this easier, we will consider the distribution of traits across a population in graphical form. In we see the normal bell curve of trait distribution. For example, if we were talking about height as a trait, we would see that without any selection pressure on this trait, the heights of individuals in a population would vary, with most individuals being of an average height and fewer being extremely short or extremely tall. However, when selection pressures act on a trait, this distribution can be altered.</span>
