The Ebola virus enters a human through the openings in the body or through the skin itself. Once inside, the virus attaches to a

body cell and inserts genetic material into it. The genetic material of the virus then uses the machinery of the cell to make more virus particles. These are eventually released, killing the cell. The virus is not made of cells, but it has some components of cells such as proteins and genetic material. Use CER to explain how the Ebola virus and human systems interact with each other in an individual who is sick with Ebola. Generate an argument about whether or not viruses should be considered living or nonliving. Use at least two pieces of data to back up your claim.

<h2>Answer: <u><em>How does the Ebola virus infect people?</em></u></h2>

<em><u>Ebola virus contains a type of genetic material called RNA, which is similar to DNA and contains the blueprint for assembling new virus particles.  Unlike animals and plants, which also use DNA as a repository of information, viruses are not technically alive because they are incapable of replicating without help.  In order to create new viruses, the virus must infiltrate a living cell, where it hijacks the host cell’s machinery to fulfill its own goals.  In order to get into the cell, Ebola must travel through the cell membrane, which is a barrier that protects the cell from its environment.  However, all cells need nutrients, which must have ways of entering the cell; the viruses hitch a ride into the cell via one of these established nutrient-uptake entryways.  Ebola virus takes advantage of a non-specific engulfing process called macropinocytosis, which allows the virus to be “eaten” by a wave-like motion of the cell membrane (Figure 1) [2].</u></em>

Comparison of the excretory system of a rat, frog and human
yaroslaw [1]
In general, the function of the excretory system is,  removal of nitrogen waste products from the bloodstream and transport out of the body through urine. It maintains the balance of fluids and electrolytes, control of red blood cells, regulation of blood pressure and also the formation of red bone marrow.
In humans, the excretory system is responsible for removing waste from the body. Metabolic waste is being removed from the blood and an appropriate amount of water nutrients and water and salt are being retained.
In frogs, the excretory system consists of a pair of ureters, kidney pairs, cloaca, and urinary bladder. Frogs take in liquid waste from kidney which removes wastes and then the extra water becomes urine which then it is collected in the urinary bladder through ureters.
The urinary bladder is present in ventral to return then both open into the cloaca.

Yuri [45]
C. The cell must be a plant cell. 

Only plant cells have cell walls. Bacteria cells and animal cells do not. Both animal cells and plant cells have membrane-bound organelles, but since the student saw a cell wall, it must be a plant cell.

Hope this helps! :)

Marianne is comparing two animals: a fruit fly and a fruit bat. She asks, "Do a fruit fly and a fruit bat share a common ancesto
Sonja [21]

The answer is; YES

All organisms share one common ancestor in the beginning of life. Different species have branched at different times from common ancestors hence he evolutionary tree looks like tree called a cladogram. The nodes represent the common ancestry while branches depict divergence. Therefore even fruit flies and the fruit bats even though they do not belong to the same species shared a common ancestor at one time in history.
