Answer:
The second statement is correct: "The "host range" for a virus is determined by the presence or absence of particular components on the surface of a host cell that are required for the virus to attach."
Explanation:
The virus attaching itself to the host cell is the first step for it to successfully infect the host. Viruses are smaller in size than bacteria, so the first statement is incorrect. The third statement is incorrect because viruses do not have the necessary machinery to carry out protein synthesis or to generate ATP, this precisely why they seek out a host to begin with. The fourth statement is false because the virus will either have DNA or RNA, but both at the same time.
Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
Answer:
The correct answer would be B. semi-permeable.
Plasma membrane of any cell including red blood cell is semi-permeable in nature as it is made up of lipid bilayer.
It permits the passage of certain substances across the membrane while it blocks other substances.
Gases, small uncharged or non-polar substances such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, et cetera can easily pass through the cell membrane of a cell.
Large or charged molecules such as proteins, sodium ions, potassium ions et cetera can not pass through the cell membrane. They require carrier proteins to pass through the membrane.
The purpose of an indicator is to test how acidic or basic something is.
