Which of the following best compares viral reproduction to reproduction in other organisms?

Biology

Fittoniya [83]3 years ago

Answer:

B. Viruses must commandeer the mechanisms of a host cell in order to reproduce

Explanation:

Virus is an organism that is incapable of replicating on its own without infecting a living host cell. A viral cell is dependent on a living host to replicate and express its genes. Hence, the infection cycle of a virus is its reproductive life cycle.

Other living organisms e.g plant, bacteria, fungi etc. have the ability to reproduce i.e. multiply on their own through asexual or sexual means. However, on the contrary, a virus must infect a living host, hijack the replicational abilities of the host cell in order to reproduce. Based on this, a virus employs a lysogenic or lytic cycle or both on its host to reproduce.

Can anyone give a help with this please I have to submit it tomorrow!!
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Q.1: I can't help you with this, sorry :(

Q.2: Seaweed is the producer because it takes energy from the water and sun in thermal reactions.

Q.3: Phytoplankton is the second-order consumer because they eat first-order consumers.

Q.4: Whelks and crabs because they eat limpets, which eat producers, and they also eat seaweed.

Q.5: Gulls are carnivores because they eat the crabs, and so are crabs because they eat mullets

Q.6: Limpets and lobster would become less populated, but not yet endangered. Gulls would starve and probably disappear from this ecosystem.

Q.7: Whelks' numbers would decrease because of the number of lobsters consuming them, but then lobsters would starve because of the decline in their food. Then this would repeat, shaking the whole ecosystem.

1. Which of the following are factors that both unicellular and multicellular organisms actively balance in order to achieve hom
MrMuchimi
The correct options are as follows:
1. C
Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms maintains constant internal environment. Maintaining homeostasis is very important because the survival of the living organism depend on it. In order to maintain homeostasis, the amount of wastes, nutrients and water that is in an organism must be controlled and maintained at optimum level.
2. A.
An organism that can not maintain an homeostasis will die. This is because, lack of homeostasis will disrupt the biochemical reactions which sustains the life activities of the organism and once the biochemical reactions that produce life energy can no longer take place the organism will die.
3. A.
For both unicellular and multi cellular organisms, when they are exposed to water containing no salt, much of the water will move into their cells. This happened because, the level of salt in the interior of the living cells is higher and so the water will move from the medium which has no salt to the inside to the cell where there is salt. This process is known as osmosis. In osmosis water move through a semi permeable membrane from the region of low salt concentration level to the region of higher salt level concentration.
4. D.
Cells in living organisms are able to maintain homeostasis by specializing in specific functions and by working together in cooperatively. Each cell has its own functions which it performs; in the process of its duty, it communicates with other cells which also help it in order to achieve common goals, which is maintenance of homeostasis within the cell.

diamong [38]
<span>DNA replication is the production of identical DNA helices from a single double-stranded DNA molecule. Each molecule consists of a strand from the original molecule and a newly formed strand. Prior to replication, the DNA uncoils and strands separate. A replication fork is formed which serves as a template for replication. Primers bind to the DNA and DNA polymerases add new nucleotide sequences in the 5′ to 3′ direction. This addition is continuous in the leading strand and fragmented in the lagging strand. Once elongation of the DNA strands is complete, the strands are checked for errors, repairs are made and telomere sequences are added to the ends of the DNA.</span>

ATP is formed when energy is released during photosynthesis.b. When ADP + P becomes ATP, the amount of energy released is enough
puteri [66]

Answer:

c. ATP is comprised of a sugar, base, and three phosphate groups

Explanation:

ATP is the energy currency of cells and is formed during the phosphorylation of ADP. The process of ATP formation is endergonic and is often coupled with some exergonic process.

One molecule of ATP consists of one ribose sugar, an adenine base (a purine base) and three phosphate groups. Breakage of phosphoanhydride bond during hydrolysis of ATP into ADP and inorganic phosphate release a large amount of energy.
