Answer

An open system  is a system that exchanges mass and energy with its surroundings or environment.

Explanation:

IN BIOLOGY,

A cell works as an open system i.e it takes in substances needed for its metabolic activities through its cell membrane. Then it performs the metabolic processes assigned to it. Products and by-products are formed in metabolism. Cell either utilizes the products or transports them to other cells. The by-products are either stored or are excreted out of cell.

Some solutes are able to pass directly through the lipid bilayer of a plasma membrane, whereas other solutes require a transport
Ber [7]

Answer:

B, E, F, and G

Explanation:

Ions and large polar molecules cannot pass through the lipid bilayer. But more specifically, whether a molecule can pass through the membrane depends on its size and its electrical nature. The membrane is highly permeable to non-polar (fat-soluble) molecules.

Distinguish between natural selection and artificial selection.
coldgirl [10]

Answer: Natural selection is based on the adaptive characteristics of animals. Artificial selection is based on the desirable characters selected by humans. Only beneficial or favorable traits are inherited over the successive generations by natural selection. Natural selection is performed on all the types organisms; Artificial selection is processed on some selective organisms of humans desires. ... Natural selection results in the transformation of the entire population of a species; Artificial selection brings out the new variety of that species.

Which of the following statements is true of selective toxicity?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

c. selective toxicity takes advantage of structural and/or metabolic differences between host and pathogen

Explanation:

Selective toxicity is the mechanism by which antibiotics work. They cause damage to the pathogen but do not harm the host. Hence, they are selectively toxic in their mechanism. They can target both the structural or the metabolic differences between host and pathogen. Many antibiotics target unique sites in the pathogen's structure or the sites which might be present in host cells too but are not essential for the survival of the host. An example of structural difference being targeted by antibiotics is the enzymes which synthesis the bacterial cell wall so that the cell wall is disrupted. A metabolic difference being targeted would be the mechanism by which bacteria replicates so that host cell replication process is not hindered.

You have a novel virus that can kill mice when injected into them. This novel virus can transform a non-virulent virus, causing
Zanzabum

Answer:

The sample treated with RNase

Explanation:

According to this question, a novel virus was found which was capable of killing mice when injected into them and capable of making a nonvirulent virus to be virulent by transforming them.

After heat killing the novel virus, different samples were treated with either an RNase, a DNase, or a Proteinase. If the novel virus uses double-stranded RNA as its genetic material, the sample treated with RNase will no longer be capable of transforming the non-virulent strain. This is because RNase is a catalytic enzyme that degrades RNA, hence, the RNA will no longer be present to transform.
