How does the oil from the liver provide limited buoyancy in the absence of a swim bladder

Biology
1 answer:
Delvig [45]3 years ago
8 0
Unlike fish, which have a gas-filled swim bladder that keeps them afloat in the water, sharks rely upon a huge, oily liver to provide some buoyancy. The oil in the liver is lighter than water and gives the shark some buoyancy, but it is still heavier than water and will sink if it dos not actively swim.

Why would a drug that damages capsids help treat a viral infection?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

The correct answer is D. Without capsids, viruses could not replicate

Explanation:

A viral infection is caused as a virus enters the body and this replicates inside it by using the host's cells. This is possible through the capsid which is an external layer in the virus that provides protection to it and helps the virus replicate because the capsid is essential for the virus to attach and penetrate the host's cells to replicate. According to this, if a drug damages the capsids the virus could not replicate and this should or reduce the infection caused by the virus. Thus, a drug that damages capsids helps treat a viral infection because "without capsids, viruses could not replicate".
