Persistent chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides persist in the environment and accumulate in the foods chain causing harmful effects on the environment including posing a threat to humans health in the long term. Nonpersistent organophosphate pesticides are more toxic than the former but degrade after a short life span. Therefore they cause immediate harm in case one is in contact with them.
The fact that they do not accumulate in the environment, they are more favourable than chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides. Chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides will affect several generations due to their accumulation in the environment. However they don't need to be re-applied hence are less expensive

Answer:
Energy is passed between organisms through the food chain. The organism that obtains energy from sunlight is called the producer.
Explanation:
Answer:
Energy is transferred from the sun to Earth via electromagnetic waves, or radiation. Most of the energy that passes through the upper atmosphere and reaches Earth's surface is in two forms, visible and infrared light.
The choices are:
<span>A. Matrix protein
B. Hemagglutinin
C. An ion channel
D. Neuraminidase

The right answer is B. Hemaglutinin
Explanation:
Haemagglutinins are triangular rods. They allow the attachment of Influenzaviruses on the target cells of the respiratory tree. In the presence of red blood cells, a haemagglutination (liquid medium) is obtained.
<u>About the other components of Influenza virus:</u>Neuraminidase is a mushroom-shaped spike composed of a tetramer consisting of 4 subunits of a single glycoprotein. At 37 ° C, the neuraminidase destroys the bonds (virus - cells) and thus allows the release of neoformed virions in the external environment: it is elution.
The membrane protein M and the protein subunits of the nucleocapsid are antigenic and are the basis of the classification of Influenzavirus types A, B and C. They induce the synthesis of non-protective antibodies fixing the complement.
