The researcher could look for the presence of proteins, because viruses have a envelope (capsid) composed of proteins that involve their genetic material. The capsid may have a helical or icosahedral structure and is extremely regular. Viroids cannot synthesize any type of protein, so differentiation is possible.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:ways Water enters the atmosphere evaporation, transpiration, excretion and sublimation:

Explanation:

Transpiration is the loss of water from plants (via their leaves).

Sublimation is when ice or snow transforms directly into water vapour without going through a liquid phase (i.e. they do not melt).

Animals excrete water by respiration and by passing urine.

Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase.
