Answer & explanation:

Viruses are <u>not</u> considered to be living beings, as they do not belong to any of the five kingdoms that classify organisms, and are not made up of cells. Viruses are primarily proteinaceous particles that carry nucleic acid (DNA, RNA or both) in small quantities.

In addition, viruses have no metabolic activity, such as using energy or capturing nutrients, without infecting a living host cell, subverting their metabolism to produce more viruses.

Why would it be hard to find the CO2 level if the light intensity were very low? HELP!!!!
drek231 [11]
If CO2 was in very small amounts then it would be the limiting factor of photosynthesis, this means the process will take place at a much slower rate because it is lacking one of the raw materials it needs for the process to occur. To find the optimum light intensity you really need all other factors to be at optimum levels or in abundance.

How does the Richter scale measure an earthquake?
USPshnik [31]

Richter's original magnitude scale (ML) was extended to observations of earthquakes of any distance and of focal depths ranging between 0 and 700 km. Because earthquakes excite both body waves, which travel into and through the Earth, and surface waves, which are constrained to follow the natural waveguide of the Earth's uppermost layers, two magnitude scales evolved - the MB and MS scales.

The standard body-wave magnitude formula is

MB = log10(A/T) + Q(D,h) ,

where A is the amplitude of ground motion (in microns); T is the corresponding period (in seconds); and Q(D,h) is a correction factor that is a function of distance, D (degrees), between epicenter and station and focal depth, h (in kilometers), of the earthquake. The standard surface-wave formula is

MS = log10 (A/T) + 1.66 log10 (D) + 3.30 .

There are many variations of these formulas that take into account effects of specific geographic regions so that the final computed magnitude is reasonably consistent with Richter's original definition of ML. Negative magnitude values are permissible.

Region of the cell body from which the axon originates
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Axon hillock

Explanation:

Neuron or nerve cell is excitable cell of the nervous system which consists of cell body or soma (karyon), dendrites and an axon. Dendrites are short, numerous filaments responsible for the signal receiving. On the other hand, axon is long ant it originates form the cell body from the swelling called axon hillock. At the end of an axon there are axon terminals from which neuron can transmit a signal  another cell.
