The organisms activity is unaffected when temperatures are low because they can just adjust to it

Explanation:

Different organisms adapt differently to survive and thrive in various atmospheric conditions including extreme weather conditions.

Organisms undergo adaptation of thermoregulation to regulate their body temperature in accordance with the temperature of its surrounding. Accordingly, organisms are classified as endothermic or ectothermic. Thermoregulation process helps the organism to maintain body homeostasis.

Human body maintains a constant body temperature even when the external temperature is too high or too low.

When the temperature is less, heat loss through evaporation is less and hence less energy is consumed.

Various animals undergo adaptations like hibernation or dormancy to conserve their limited energy sources during low temperature periods.

Where does the movement energy found in falling rain come from originally?

Tresset [83]

A. i think its this because they get their energy from gravity. its originally potential energy as a cloud but as the water droplets condense and collect into rain drops they get heavy and that potential energy is turned into kinetic energy. this isnt up there so A.

HIV can remain latent for several years and not cause any symptoms in its host. What viral reproduction cycle is occurring durin

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The lytic cycle.

Explanation:

HIV is a retrovirus that has a special enzyme called transcriptase reverse, which can synthesize DNA using RNA as a template. This replication system is particularly useful for the virus because the DNA synthesized from the RNA viral genome can be then integrated into the human chromosomes and stay inactive for years. This is called a lysogenic cycle and is characterized by a latency of the virus and an integration to the host DNA.

When there is a triggering event, this latent virus can be excised from the human chromosome and start producing copies of itself using the host machinery. Then the virions are assembled and after that they lyse the host cell and release new infective units that can then infect neighboring cells. This is called the lytic cycle of the virus and is the reproduction cycle that occurs when a person moves into the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) stage of HIV infection.
