Answer:
A virus is a tiny infectious biological agent that can only replicate or duplicate inside the host cell. These infectious agents can infect all different types of living organisms ranging from animals and plants to microorganisms and archaea and bacteria.
Virions are ineffective particle or form of the virus outside of the host cell, with RNA or DNA and a protein capsid.
The main role of these infectious agent virions is to transfer the DNA or RNA genome from itself to the cell of host and expressed the gene which means produce proteins from the genome transferred to the host cell.
Answer: Life would cease to exist.
Explanation:
The carbon elements is one of the most important elements in the compound that make up living organisms. It is found: in the remains of living organisms; as fossil fuels such as coal, coke and natural gas; as inorganic salts such as carbonates; in water bodies and as gas carbondioxide which makes up 0.03% of air.
Carbon is continuously being circulated in the atmosphere through a process called the CARBON CYCLE. This involves the removal and addition of carbon to the carbondioxide in the atmosphere.
Life would indeed cease to exist if this carbon cycle stops due to the importance of carbon to functioning of living organisms. Important processes which bring about the recycling of carbon between living ( biotic) and non living (abiotic) components of an ecosystem are:
--> photosynthesis: the process used by green plants to remove carbon through carbondioxide from the atmosphere for manufacturing of their food.
--> respiration: animals respire to break down sugar leading to liberation of carbondioxide and water as wastes
--> and decay: decomposers feeds on remains and waste to bring about decay, thus complex carbon compounds are broken down to set free carbondioxide which returns to the atmosphere.
All the above processes are carried out by living organisms to maintain a functioning ecosystem by enabling a linear flow of energy through it.
A bacteria cell differs from a plant or animal cell by being less complex in structure.
Phytoremediation
describes a potential benefit for the environment that stems from genetic
engineering.
<span>Phytoremediation<span> is the direct use of living green plants for in
