Answer:
A. Prions do not contain genetic information, which is affected by ionizing radiation.
B. Denaturants may affect the tertiary structure of prions.
C. Prions are proteins.
Explanation:
Prions are the proteinaceous infectious particles that cause many degenerative diseases of neurons in both animals and humans. They consist of only protein and no DNA or RNA. Due to the absence of DNA or RNA as genetic material, these infectious particles are resistant to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiations affect nucleic acids of pathogens to destroy them.
Denaturation of proteins affects their secondary and tertiary structures and leave them non-functional. Denaturation may be caused by changes in temperature, pH, disturbance of hydrogen bonds, etc. Therefore, to destroy prions, they need to be denatured.
Answer:
Thermal
Explanation:
The total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object is called thermal energy.
Similarities: cell membrane, genetic material, ribosomes, cytoplasm
Differences: cell arrangement, true membrane bound nucleus, DNA structure, membrane bound organelles, ribosome size, cytoskeleton, sexual reproduction, cell division
The correct answer is:
Explanation:
Through the actions of decomposers, phosphorus and sulfur are reacted to the soil. Decomposers are organisms that break down stagnant or decaying organisms, and in doing so, they bring out the natural process of dissolution. Their energy is earned by the use of organic substrates.
