Why do people say that viruses are in between life and non-life?

Biology
2 answers:
Natalija [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Viruses have been concluded non-living

Explanation:

It is true viruses have living qualities such as reproduction and environment adaptability. However, they lack being composed of cells and the inability to undergo homeostasis. Because a virus contains both, but also doesn't meet the requirements to be one or the other is why it's said to be in the "grey area".

Describe how ocean temperatures affect the weather.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Ocean temperatures can cause large storms such as hurricanes or tropical storms. Warmer ocean waters create larger and stronger storms as well as keep said storms going longer. Warmer ocean waters can also cause the temperature in the immediate air around it to be slightly warmer.

Which of the following correctly sorts the organizational levels of a ecosystem form least inclusive to most inclusive
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

population - community - ecosystem - biosphere

Explanation:

<em>The correctly sorted level of organization of an ecosystem from the least inclusive to the most inclusive would be from population to community to ecosystem and finally to biosphere.</em>

A population consists of a group of organism of the same species living in a particular area at a particular time and capable of interbreeding to produce fertile progeny.

A community represents different population of organisms that are interacting with one another. Several populations make up a community.

An ecosystem consists of different communities of organisms that are interacting with themselves and the non living component of the environment.

A biosphere consists of all regions of the earth where living organisms can be found. It consists of different ecosystems that make up the earth.

<u>Hence, the population is least inclusive, followed by the community, then the ecosystem and finally the biosphere.</u>

this involves small scale changes within a community that occur repeatedly over the life of that community
Akimi4 [234]

Explanation:

<u>Succession  </u>involves small scale changes within a community that occur repeatedly over the life of that community.

Ecological communities are highly dynamic- they gradually evolve. Typically their progression involves:

  • colonizing species exploiting uninhabited areas (Primary succession)
  • becoming a habitable and increasingly complex community
  • there is increased diversity of organisms (Secondary)

Further Explanation:

The makeup of biological communities is crucial to defining Primary and Secondary succession; eventually, through changes in this makeup, a steady-state or equilibrium is reached called a climax community. While Primary succession starts off with the modification of a previously unoccupied area along with increasing variation; secondary succession begins after major disruption in the community such as fires, storms and flooding.

However, the process of becoming a climax community can be pretty complicated- it is very dependent on other factors like temperature and rainfall. Communities that experience rapid change, frequent major disruptions and even human intervention, are less likely to attain a stable equilibrium and may never become climax communities.
