Biology

Westkost [7]3 years ago

Answer:

First law of thermodynamics is the conservation of energy states that energy is not created and not destroyed but only can be stored.

Thermodynamics second law states that total entropy of a system increases from lower to higher system and some of the energy is always wasted during the work done.

In the food chain plants are the producers which accept light energy and stored in the form of chemical energy and energy flow to the herbivores and higher trophic levels in the chemical form only and no new energy is created in between the chain (Fisrt law of thermodynamics). Heat is generated during respiration by plants and animals (wasted energy) and entropy also increases with the increase in level of the pyramid of energy (Second law of thermodynamics).

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Double-stranded DNA

Explanation:

If a virus requires to transport its genome in the nucleus to produce viral protein then the viral genome content must be DNA. This DNA of the virus will use the RNA polymerase of the host cell and will first convert into mRNA in the nucleus.

Then the mRNA of the virus will come out of the nucleus because the protein synthesis takes place outside the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. So in the cytoplasm by using host translational machinery the viral mRNA will code for viral proteins. So the correct answer is double-stranded DNA.
