Answer:

The answer is a bit complicated but no they are not.

Explanation:

Viruses are not made out of cells but they can evolve themselves and they carry genetic material and can even reproduce (different from human reproduction).

As stated by Khan Academy " Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms."

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Hydrophobic Properties

Explanation:

Lipids and water do not mix. The contents of cells in the larger proportion is the cytoplasm, this is made up mostly of water. The lipids serve as a barrier; the contents that are distributed in a watery medium will not be able to mix. This is due to the hydro-phobic or water "hating" capacity of lipids.

Lana71 [14]

Explanation:

Primates are a group of animals has flexible hands and feet, large brains in relation to body size, forward-looking eyes, and arms that can rotate in a circle around the shoulder joint

  • Primates include the lemurs,lorises,monkeys,apes and humans
  • The order Primates, with its 300 or more species, is the third most diverse order of mammals, after rodents and bats
  • The Primates order is divided informally into three main groups: prosimians, monkeys of the New World, and monkeys and apes of the Old World
  • All primates have five fingers (pentadactyly), a generalized dental pattern, and a primitive body plan
  • Another distinguishing feature of primates is fingernails
  • Opposing thumbs are also a characteristic primate feature
  • When compared with body weight, the primate brain is larger than that of other terrestrial mammals, and it has a fissure unique to primates that separates the first and second visual areas on each side of the brain
  • The eyes face forward in all primates so that the eyes visual fields overlap
  • Fossils of the earliest primates date to the Early Eocene Epoch (56 million to 40 million years ago) or perhaps to the Late Paleocene Epoch (59 million to 56 million years ago)

k0ka [10]

Answer:

The whole body works together, as a “team.”If one of the parts of the body won’t work together as a team, everything will get messed up. The stomach muscles churn and mix the food with digestive juices that have acids and enzymes, breaking it into much smaller, digestible pieces. An acidic environment is needed for the digestion that takes place in the stomach.

3-Almost identical eclipses occur after 18 years and 11 days.

4-This period of 223 synodic months is called a saros.

5-Each year there are between 2 and 5 solar eclipses.

6-The total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely obscures the Sun and leaves only the faint solar corona, is known as a Totality.

7-Total solar eclipses are rare, happening only once every 18 months.

8-Total solar eclipses produce harmful rays that can cause blindness.

9-If any planets are in the sky at the time of a total solar eclipse, they can be seen as points of light.

10-During a total solar eclipse, conditions in the path of totality can change quickly. Air temperatures drop and the immediate area becomes dark.

11- A solar eclipse can only occur when the Moon is close enough to the ecliptic plane during a new moon
