Answer: The night

Explanation:

Remember that a plant does two things, it either produces energy by photosynthesis, in which case it takes up the carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, or consumes energy to grow/carry out the functions of life.

In the second case, the plant takes the glucose, or sugar, that it made during photosynthesis and breaks it into pieces, releasing energy. This step is accompanied by the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This happens all the time, but since the plant does not produce sugar and release oxygen during the night, the night is when it produces more CO2 than O2.

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

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].
