Juliette [100K]

The correct answer is that the shells of clams and other mollusks dissolve when the pH becomes more acidic.

This is because the shells of clams and other mollusks are made of calcium carbonate that is dissolved in acidic conditions. The pH  needs to be low to dissolve calcium carbonate into it. It takes few days to dissolve the shell completely.

Look up viruses. Write a short summary of what they are and what they do.
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Viruses are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes because they lack all of the characteristics of living things except for the ability to reproduce. They are considered parasitic because they cannot live or replicate without a living host. Viruses consist of genetic material (either DNA or RNA), a protein coat, and sometimes a lipid envelope surrounding the protein coat. They have no function except to reproduce.
